To determine if 2452 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2452.
If the factors of 2452 are only 2452 and 1, then we know that 2452 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2452 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2452 is only divisible by 1 and 2452, then it is a prime number, and if 2452 is divisible by more than 2452 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2452 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 613, 1226, 2452
Therefore, since 2452 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2452 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
