To determine if 2337 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2337.
If the factors of 2337 are only 2337 and 1, then we know that 2337 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2337 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2337 is only divisible by 1 and 2337, then it is a prime number, and if 2337 is divisible by more than 2337 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2337 are as follows:
1, 3, 19, 41, 57, 123, 779, 2337
Therefore, since 2337 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2337 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
