To determine if 2370 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2370.
If the factors of 2370 are only 2370 and 1, then we know that 2370 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2370 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2370 is only divisible by 1 and 2370, then it is a prime number, and if 2370 is divisible by more than 2370 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2370 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30, 79, 158, 237, 395, 474, 790, 1185, 2370
Therefore, since 2370 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2370 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2371 prime or composite?
