To determine if 2408 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2408.
If the factors of 2408 are only 2408 and 1, then we know that 2408 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2408 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2408 is only divisible by 1 and 2408, then it is a prime number, and if 2408 is divisible by more than 2408 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2408 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 43, 56, 86, 172, 301, 344, 602, 1204, 2408
Therefore, since 2408 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2408 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2409 prime or composite?
