To determine if 2356 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2356.
If the factors of 2356 are only 2356 and 1, then we know that 2356 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2356 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2356 is only divisible by 1 and 2356, then it is a prime number, and if 2356 is divisible by more than 2356 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2356 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 19, 31, 38, 62, 76, 124, 589, 1178, 2356
Therefore, since 2356 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2356 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
