To determine if 2029 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2029.
If the factors of 2029 are only 2029 and 1, then we know that 2029 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2029 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2029 is only divisible by 1 and 2029, then it is a prime number, and if 2029 is divisible by more than 2029 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2029 are as follows:
