To determine if 2444 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2444.
If the factors of 2444 are only 2444 and 1, then we know that 2444 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2444 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2444 is only divisible by 1 and 2444, then it is a prime number, and if 2444 is divisible by more than 2444 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2444 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 47, 52, 94, 188, 611, 1222, 2444
