To determine if 2407 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2407.
If the factors of 2407 are only 2407 and 1, then we know that 2407 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2407 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2407 is only divisible by 1 and 2407, then it is a prime number, and if 2407 is divisible by more than 2407 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2407 are as follows:
1, 29, 83, 2407
Therefore, since 2407 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2407 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2408 prime or composite?
