To determine if 2528 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2528.
If the factors of 2528 are only 2528 and 1, then we know that 2528 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2528 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2528 is only divisible by 1 and 2528, then it is a prime number, and if 2528 is divisible by more than 2528 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2528 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 79, 158, 316, 632, 1264, 2528
Therefore, since 2528 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2528 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
