To determine if 2352 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2352.
If the factors of 2352 are only 2352 and 1, then we know that 2352 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2352 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2352 is only divisible by 1 and 2352, then it is a prime number, and if 2352 is divisible by more than 2352 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2352 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 21, 24, 28, 42, 48, 49, 56, 84, 98, 112, 147, 168, 196, 294, 336, 392, 588, 784, 1176, 2352
Therefore, since 2352 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2352 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
