To determine if 2692 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2692.
If the factors of 2692 are only 2692 and 1, then we know that 2692 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2692 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2692 is only divisible by 1 and 2692, then it is a prime number, and if 2692 is divisible by more than 2692 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2692 are as follows:
