To determine if 2672 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2672.
If the factors of 2672 are only 2672 and 1, then we know that 2672 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2672 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2672 is only divisible by 1 and 2672, then it is a prime number, and if 2672 is divisible by more than 2672 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2672 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 167, 334, 668, 1336, 2672
Therefore, since 2672 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2672 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
