To determine if 2700 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2700.
If the factors of 2700 are only 2700 and 1, then we know that 2700 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2700 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2700 is only divisible by 1 and 2700, then it is a prime number, and if 2700 is divisible by more than 2700 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2700 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 25, 27, 30, 36, 45, 50, 54, 60, 75, 90, 100, 108, 135, 150, 180, 225, 270, 300, 450, 540, 675, 900, 1350, 2700
Therefore, since 2700 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2700 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2701 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 2700 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
