To determine if 2613 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2613.
If the factors of 2613 are only 2613 and 1, then we know that 2613 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2613 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2613 is only divisible by 1 and 2613, then it is a prime number, and if 2613 is divisible by more than 2613 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2613 are as follows:
1, 3, 13, 39, 67, 201, 871, 2613
Therefore, since 2613 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2613 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
