To determine if 2368 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2368.
If the factors of 2368 are only 2368 and 1, then we know that 2368 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2368 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2368 is only divisible by 1 and 2368, then it is a prime number, and if 2368 is divisible by more than 2368 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2368 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 37, 64, 74, 148, 296, 592, 1184, 2368
Therefore, since 2368 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2368 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2369 prime or composite?
