To determine if 2551 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2551.
If the factors of 2551 are only 2551 and 1, then we know that 2551 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2551 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2551 is only divisible by 1 and 2551, then it is a prime number, and if 2551 is divisible by more than 2551 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2551 are as follows:
