To determine if 2524 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2524.
If the factors of 2524 are only 2524 and 1, then we know that 2524 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2524 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2524 is only divisible by 1 and 2524, then it is a prime number, and if 2524 is divisible by more than 2524 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2524 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 631, 1262, 2524
Therefore, since 2524 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2524 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
