To determine if 2532 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2532.
If the factors of 2532 are only 2532 and 1, then we know that 2532 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2532 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2532 is only divisible by 1 and 2532, then it is a prime number, and if 2532 is divisible by more than 2532 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2532 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 211, 422, 633, 844, 1266, 2532
Therefore, since 2532 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2532 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2533 prime or composite?
