To determine if 2568 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2568.
If the factors of 2568 are only 2568 and 1, then we know that 2568 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2568 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2568 is only divisible by 1 and 2568, then it is a prime number, and if 2568 is divisible by more than 2568 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2568 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 107, 214, 321, 428, 642, 856, 1284, 2568
Therefore, since 2568 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2568 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2569 prime or composite?
