To determine if 2569 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2569.
If the factors of 2569 are only 2569 and 1, then we know that 2569 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2569 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2569 is only divisible by 1 and 2569, then it is a prime number, and if 2569 is divisible by more than 2569 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2569 are as follows:
