To determine if 2344 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2344.
If the factors of 2344 are only 2344 and 1, then we know that 2344 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2344 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2344 is only divisible by 1 and 2344, then it is a prime number, and if 2344 is divisible by more than 2344 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2344 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 293, 586, 1172, 2344
Therefore, since 2344 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
