To determine if 2354 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2354.
If the factors of 2354 are only 2354 and 1, then we know that 2354 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2354 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2354 is only divisible by 1 and 2354, then it is a prime number, and if 2354 is divisible by more than 2354 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2354 are as follows:
1, 2, 11, 22, 107, 214, 1177, 2354
Therefore, since 2354 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2354 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
