To determine if 2684 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2684.
If the factors of 2684 are only 2684 and 1, then we know that 2684 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2684 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2684 is only divisible by 1 and 2684, then it is a prime number, and if 2684 is divisible by more than 2684 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2684 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44, 61, 122, 244, 671, 1342, 2684
Therefore, since 2684 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2684 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
