To determine if 2624 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2624.
If the factors of 2624 are only 2624 and 1, then we know that 2624 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2624 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2624 is only divisible by 1 and 2624, then it is a prime number, and if 2624 is divisible by more than 2624 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2624 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 41, 64, 82, 164, 328, 656, 1312, 2624
Therefore, since 2624 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2624 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2625 prime or composite?
