To determine if 2432 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2432.
If the factors of 2432 are only 2432 and 1, then we know that 2432 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2432 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2432 is only divisible by 1 and 2432, then it is a prime number, and if 2432 is divisible by more than 2432 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2432 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 32, 38, 64, 76, 128, 152, 304, 608, 1216, 2432
Therefore, since 2432 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2432 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2433 prime or composite?
