To determine if 2623 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2623.
If the factors of 2623 are only 2623 and 1, then we know that 2623 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2623 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2623 is only divisible by 1 and 2623, then it is a prime number, and if 2623 is divisible by more than 2623 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2623 are as follows:
