To determine if 2353 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2353.
If the factors of 2353 are only 2353 and 1, then we know that 2353 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2353 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2353 is only divisible by 1 and 2353, then it is a prime number, and if 2353 is divisible by more than 2353 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2353 are as follows:
1, 13, 181, 2353
Therefore, since 2353 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2353 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2354 prime or composite?
