A Composite Determination Problem (Posted on 2006-04-23) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Determine whether or not N is a composite number, where

N = 675*2621 + 677*2610 - 1

NOTE:
A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number that has exactly two (distinct) natural number divisors, which are 1 and the prime number itself. A composite number is a positive integer which has a positive divisor other than one or itself. By definition, every integer greater than one is either a prime number or a composite number. The numbers 0 and 1 are considered to be neither prime nor composite.

Wow, this is really getting embarrassing.  So, of course I see how I went horribly wrong in my last post as well.  I think I'm going to turn off the computer for a while and let the smart people work on this.
