To determine if 2484 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2484.
If the factors of 2484 are only 2484 and 1, then we know that 2484 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2484 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2484 is only divisible by 1 and 2484, then it is a prime number, and if 2484 is divisible by more than 2484 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2484 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 23, 27, 36, 46, 54, 69, 92, 108, 138, 207, 276, 414, 621, 828, 1242, 2484
Therefore, since 2484 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2484 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
