To determine if 2570 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2570.
If the factors of 2570 are only 2570 and 1, then we know that 2570 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2570 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2570 is only divisible by 1 and 2570, then it is a prime number, and if 2570 is divisible by more than 2570 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2570 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 257, 514, 1285, 2570
Therefore, since 2570 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2570 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
