To determine if 2567 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2567.
If the factors of 2567 are only 2567 and 1, then we know that 2567 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2567 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2567 is only divisible by 1 and 2567, then it is a prime number, and if 2567 is divisible by more than 2567 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2567 are as follows:
1, 17, 151, 2567
Therefore, since 2567 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2567 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2568 prime or composite?
