To determine if 2332 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2332.
If the factors of 2332 are only 2332 and 1, then we know that 2332 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2332 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2332 is only divisible by 1 and 2332, then it is a prime number, and if 2332 is divisible by more than 2332 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2332 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44, 53, 106, 212, 583, 1166, 2332
Therefore, since 2332 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2332 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
