To determine if 2448 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2448.
If the factors of 2448 are only 2448 and 1, then we know that 2448 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2448 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2448 is only divisible by 1 and 2448, then it is a prime number, and if 2448 is divisible by more than 2448 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2448 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 17, 18, 24, 34, 36, 48, 51, 68, 72, 102, 136, 144, 153, 204, 272, 306, 408, 612, 816, 1224, 2448
