To determine if 2367 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2367.
If the factors of 2367 are only 2367 and 1, then we know that 2367 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2367 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2367 is only divisible by 1 and 2367, then it is a prime number, and if 2367 is divisible by more than 2367 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2367 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 263, 789, 2367
Therefore, since 2367 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2367 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
