To determine if 2610 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2610.
If the factors of 2610 are only 2610 and 1, then we know that 2610 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2610 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2610 is only divisible by 1 and 2610, then it is a prime number, and if 2610 is divisible by more than 2610 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2610 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 29, 30, 45, 58, 87, 90, 145, 174, 261, 290, 435, 522, 870, 1305, 2610
Therefore, since 2610 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2610 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2611 prime or composite?
