To determine if 2682 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2682.
If the factors of 2682 are only 2682 and 1, then we know that 2682 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2682 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2682 is only divisible by 1 and 2682, then it is a prime number, and if 2682 is divisible by more than 2682 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2682 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 149, 298, 447, 894, 1341, 2682
Therefore, since 2682 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2682 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
