To determine if 2519 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2519.
If the factors of 2519 are only 2519 and 1, then we know that 2519 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2519 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2519 is only divisible by 1 and 2519, then it is a prime number, and if 2519 is divisible by more than 2519 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2519 are as follows:
1, 11, 229, 2519
Therefore, since 2519 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2519 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2520 prime or composite?
