To determine if 2547 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2547.
If the factors of 2547 are only 2547 and 1, then we know that 2547 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2547 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2547 is only divisible by 1 and 2547, then it is a prime number, and if 2547 is divisible by more than 2547 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2547 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 283, 849, 2547
Therefore, since 2547 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2547 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
