To determine if 2481 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2481.
If the factors of 2481 are only 2481 and 1, then we know that 2481 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2481 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2481 is only divisible by 1 and 2481, then it is a prime number, and if 2481 is divisible by more than 2481 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2481 are as follows:
1, 3, 827, 2481
Therefore, since 2481 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2481 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2482 prime or composite?
