To determine if 2435 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2435.
If the factors of 2435 are only 2435 and 1, then we know that 2435 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2435 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2435 is only divisible by 1 and 2435, then it is a prime number, and if 2435 is divisible by more than 2435 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2435 are as follows:
1, 5, 487, 2435
Therefore, since 2435 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2435 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
