To determine if 2615 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2615.
If the factors of 2615 are only 2615 and 1, then we know that 2615 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2615 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2615 is only divisible by 1 and 2615, then it is a prime number, and if 2615 is divisible by more than 2615 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2615 are as follows:
1, 5, 523, 2615
Therefore, since 2615 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2615 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2616 prime or composite?
