To determine if 2535 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2535.
If the factors of 2535 are only 2535 and 1, then we know that 2535 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2535 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2535 is only divisible by 1 and 2535, then it is a prime number, and if 2535 is divisible by more than 2535 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2535 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 13, 15, 39, 65, 169, 195, 507, 845, 2535
Therefore, since 2535 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2535 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2536 prime or composite?
