To determine if 2619 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2619.
If the factors of 2619 are only 2619 and 1, then we know that 2619 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2619 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2619 is only divisible by 1 and 2619, then it is a prime number, and if 2619 is divisible by more than 2619 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2619 are as follows:
