To determine if 2697 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2697.
If the factors of 2697 are only 2697 and 1, then we know that 2697 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2697 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2697 is only divisible by 1 and 2697, then it is a prime number, and if 2697 is divisible by more than 2697 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2697 are as follows:
1, 3, 29, 31, 87, 93, 899, 2697
Therefore, since 2697 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
