To determine if 2350 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2350.
If the factors of 2350 are only 2350 and 1, then we know that 2350 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2350 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2350 is only divisible by 1 and 2350, then it is a prime number, and if 2350 is divisible by more than 2350 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2350 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 47, 50, 94, 235, 470, 1175, 2350
Therefore, since 2350 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2350 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2351 prime or composite?
