To determine if 2454 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2454.
If the factors of 2454 are only 2454 and 1, then we know that 2454 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2454 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2454 is only divisible by 1 and 2454, then it is a prime number, and if 2454 is divisible by more than 2454 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2454 are as follows:
