To determine if 2670 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2670.
If the factors of 2670 are only 2670 and 1, then we know that 2670 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2670 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2670 is only divisible by 1 and 2670, then it is a prime number, and if 2670 is divisible by more than 2670 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2670 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30, 89, 178, 267, 445, 534, 890, 1335, 2670
Therefore, since 2670 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2670 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2671 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 2670 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
