To determine if 2701 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2701.
If the factors of 2701 are only 2701 and 1, then we know that 2701 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2701 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2701 is only divisible by 1 and 2701, then it is a prime number, and if 2701 is divisible by more than 2701 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2701 are as follows:
1, 37, 73, 2701
Therefore, since 2701 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2701 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2702 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 2701 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.
