To determine if 2627 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2627.
If the factors of 2627 are only 2627 and 1, then we know that 2627 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2627 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2627 is only divisible by 1 and 2627, then it is a prime number, and if 2627 is divisible by more than 2627 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2627 are as follows:
