To determine if 2592 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2592.
If the factors of 2592 are only 2592 and 1, then we know that 2592 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2592 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2592 is only divisible by 1 and 2592, then it is a prime number, and if 2592 is divisible by more than 2592 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2592 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 32, 36, 48, 54, 72, 81, 96, 108, 144, 162, 216, 288, 324, 432, 648, 864, 1296, 2592
Therefore, since 2592 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2592 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
