To determine if 2412 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2412.
If the factors of 2412 are only 2412 and 1, then we know that 2412 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2412 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2412 is only divisible by 1 and 2412, then it is a prime number, and if 2412 is divisible by more than 2412 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2412 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36, 67, 134, 201, 268, 402, 603, 804, 1206, 2412
Therefore, since 2412 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2412 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2413 prime or composite?
