To determine if 2366 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2366.
If the factors of 2366 are only 2366 and 1, then we know that 2366 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2366 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2366 is only divisible by 1 and 2366, then it is a prime number, and if 2366 is divisible by more than 2366 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2366 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 13, 14, 26, 91, 169, 182, 338, 1183, 2366
Therefore, since 2366 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2366 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2367 prime or composite?
