To determine if 2360 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2360.
If the factors of 2360 are only 2360 and 1, then we know that 2360 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2360 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2360 is only divisible by 1 and 2360, then it is a prime number, and if 2360 is divisible by more than 2360 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2360 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40, 59, 118, 236, 295, 472, 590, 1180, 2360
Therefore, since 2360 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2360 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2361 prime or composite?
