To determine if 2476 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2476.
If the factors of 2476 are only 2476 and 1, then we know that 2476 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2476 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2476 is only divisible by 1 and 2476, then it is a prime number, and if 2476 is divisible by more than 2476 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2476 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 619, 1238, 2476
Therefore, since 2476 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2476 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
