To determine if 2365 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2365.
If the factors of 2365 are only 2365 and 1, then we know that 2365 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2365 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2365 is only divisible by 1 and 2365, then it is a prime number, and if 2365 is divisible by more than 2365 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2365 are as follows:
1, 5, 11, 43, 55, 215, 473, 2365
Therefore, since 2365 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2365 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
