To determine if 2351 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2351.
If the factors of 2351 are only 2351 and 1, then we know that 2351 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2351 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2351 is only divisible by 1 and 2351, then it is a prime number, and if 2351 is divisible by more than 2351 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2351 are as follows:
