To determine if 2414 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2414.
If the factors of 2414 are only 2414 and 1, then we know that 2414 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2414 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2414 is only divisible by 1 and 2414, then it is a prime number, and if 2414 is divisible by more than 2414 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2414 are as follows:
1, 2, 17, 34, 71, 142, 1207, 2414
Therefore, since 2414 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2414 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
