To determine if 2394 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2394.
If the factors of 2394 are only 2394 and 1, then we know that 2394 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2394 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2394 is only divisible by 1 and 2394, then it is a prime number, and if 2394 is divisible by more than 2394 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2394 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 19, 21, 38, 42, 57, 63, 114, 126, 133, 171, 266, 342, 399, 798, 1197, 2394
Therefore, since 2394 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2394 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
