To determine if 2510 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2510.
If the factors of 2510 are only 2510 and 1, then we know that 2510 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2510 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2510 is only divisible by 1 and 2510, then it is a prime number, and if 2510 is divisible by more than 2510 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2510 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 251, 502, 1255, 2510
Therefore, since 2510 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2510 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2511 prime or composite?
