To determine if 2474 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2474.
If the factors of 2474 are only 2474 and 1, then we know that 2474 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2474 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2474 is only divisible by 1 and 2474, then it is a prime number, and if 2474 is divisible by more than 2474 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2474 are as follows:
