To determine if 2362 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2362.
If the factors of 2362 are only 2362 and 1, then we know that 2362 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2362 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2362 is only divisible by 1 and 2362, then it is a prime number, and if 2362 is divisible by more than 2362 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2362 are as follows:
1, 2, 1181, 2362
Therefore, since 2362 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2362 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2363 prime or composite?
