To determine if 2698 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2698.
If the factors of 2698 are only 2698 and 1, then we know that 2698 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2698 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2698 is only divisible by 1 and 2698, then it is a prime number, and if 2698 is divisible by more than 2698 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2698 are as follows:
