To determine if 2463 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2463.
If the factors of 2463 are only 2463 and 1, then we know that 2463 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2463 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2463 is only divisible by 1 and 2463, then it is a prime number, and if 2463 is divisible by more than 2463 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2463 are as follows:
