To determine if 2419 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2419.
If the factors of 2419 are only 2419 and 1, then we know that 2419 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2419 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2419 is only divisible by 1 and 2419, then it is a prime number, and if 2419 is divisible by more than 2419 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2419 are as follows:
