To determine if 2334 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2334.
If the factors of 2334 are only 2334 and 1, then we know that 2334 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2334 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2334 is only divisible by 1 and 2334, then it is a prime number, and if 2334 is divisible by more than 2334 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2334 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 389, 778, 1167, 2334
Therefore, since 2334 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2334 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
