To determine if 2513 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2513.
If the factors of 2513 are only 2513 and 1, then we know that 2513 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2513 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2513 is only divisible by 1 and 2513, then it is a prime number, and if 2513 is divisible by more than 2513 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2513 are as follows:
1, 7, 359, 2513
Therefore, since 2513 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2513 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2514 prime or composite?
