To determine if 2529 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2529.
If the factors of 2529 are only 2529 and 1, then we know that 2529 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2529 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2529 is only divisible by 1 and 2529, then it is a prime number, and if 2529 is divisible by more than 2529 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2529 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 281, 843, 2529
Therefore, since 2529 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2529 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
