To determine if 2622 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2622.
If the factors of 2622 are only 2622 and 1, then we know that 2622 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2622 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2622 is only divisible by 1 and 2622, then it is a prime number, and if 2622 is divisible by more than 2622 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2622 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 19, 23, 38, 46, 57, 69, 114, 138, 437, 874, 1311, 2622
Therefore, since 2622 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2622 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2623 prime or composite?
