To determine if 2571 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2571.
If the factors of 2571 are only 2571 and 1, then we know that 2571 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2571 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2571 is only divisible by 1 and 2571, then it is a prime number, and if 2571 is divisible by more than 2571 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2571 are as follows:
1, 3, 857, 2571
Therefore, since 2571 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2571 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2572 prime or composite?
