To determine if 2466 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2466.
If the factors of 2466 are only 2466 and 1, then we know that 2466 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2466 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2466 is only divisible by 1 and 2466, then it is a prime number, and if 2466 is divisible by more than 2466 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2466 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 137, 274, 411, 822, 1233, 2466
Therefore, since 2466 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2466 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
