To determine if 2611 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2611.
If the factors of 2611 are only 2611 and 1, then we know that 2611 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2611 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2611 is only divisible by 1 and 2611, then it is a prime number, and if 2611 is divisible by more than 2611 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2611 are as follows:
1, 7, 373, 2611
Therefore, since 2611 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2611 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2612 prime or composite?
