To determine if 2406 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2406.
If the factors of 2406 are only 2406 and 1, then we know that 2406 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2406 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2406 is only divisible by 1 and 2406, then it is a prime number, and if 2406 is divisible by more than 2406 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2406 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 401, 802, 1203, 2406
Therefore, since 2406 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2406 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
