To determine if 2673 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2673.
If the factors of 2673 are only 2673 and 1, then we know that 2673 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2673 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2673 is only divisible by 1 and 2673, then it is a prime number, and if 2673 is divisible by more than 2673 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2673 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 11, 27, 33, 81, 99, 243, 297, 891, 2673
Therefore, since 2673 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2673 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2674 prime or composite?
