To determine if 2667 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2667.
If the factors of 2667 are only 2667 and 1, then we know that 2667 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2667 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2667 is only divisible by 1 and 2667, then it is a prime number, and if 2667 is divisible by more than 2667 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2667 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 21, 127, 381, 889, 2667
Therefore, since 2667 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2667 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
