To determine if 2395 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2395.
If the factors of 2395 are only 2395 and 1, then we know that 2395 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2395 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2395 is only divisible by 1 and 2395, then it is a prime number, and if 2395 is divisible by more than 2395 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2395 are as follows:
