To determine if 2416 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2416.
If the factors of 2416 are only 2416 and 1, then we know that 2416 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2416 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2416 is only divisible by 1 and 2416, then it is a prime number, and if 2416 is divisible by more than 2416 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2416 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 151, 302, 604, 1208, 2416
Therefore, since 2416 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2416 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
