To determine if 2523 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2523.
If the factors of 2523 are only 2523 and 1, then we know that 2523 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2523 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2523 is only divisible by 1 and 2523, then it is a prime number, and if 2523 is divisible by more than 2523 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2523 are as follows:
1, 3, 29, 87, 841, 2523
Therefore, since 2523 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2523 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2524 prime or composite?
