To determine if 2648 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2648.
If the factors of 2648 are only 2648 and 1, then we know that 2648 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2648 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2648 is only divisible by 1 and 2648, then it is a prime number, and if 2648 is divisible by more than 2648 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2648 are as follows:
