To determine if 2696 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2696.
If the factors of 2696 are only 2696 and 1, then we know that 2696 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2696 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2696 is only divisible by 1 and 2696, then it is a prime number, and if 2696 is divisible by more than 2696 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2696 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 337, 674, 1348, 2696
