To determine if 2526 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2526.
If the factors of 2526 are only 2526 and 1, then we know that 2526 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2526 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2526 is only divisible by 1 and 2526, then it is a prime number, and if 2526 is divisible by more than 2526 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2526 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 421, 842, 1263, 2526
Therefore, since 2526 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2526 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
