Factors of 2410:
- If we have taken numbers from 1, 2, 3…for checking factors of 2410, we found that 2410 has factors 1, 2, 5, 10, 241, 482, 1205 and 2410. Hence, we must say that 2410 is a composite number.
- Thus, 2410 is the composite number.
- If we multiply 2410 by 1, 2, 3 then we get the multiples of 2410 which are 2410, 4820 and so on.
About the number 2410:
- 2410 has more than two factors which are 1, 2, 5, 10, 241, 482, 1205 and 2410 and hence it is the composite number.
- 2410 is the even composite number and it is not the perfect square also.
- If we divide 2410 by, 1, 2, 5, 10, 241, 482, 1205 and 2410 then we get remainder as zero. Hence, 1, 2, 5, 10, 241, 482, 1205 and 2410 are the factors of 2410.
Note:
- 2410 is not the perfect square.
- Factors of 2410: 1, 2, 5, 10, 241, 482, 1205 and 2410
- Prime factors of 2410: 2, 5, 241
