To determine if 2702 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2702.
If the factors of 2702 are only 2702 and 1, then we know that 2702 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2702 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2702 is only divisible by 1 and 2702, then it is a prime number, and if 2702 is divisible by more than 2702 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2702 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 193, 386, 1351, 2702
Therefore, since 2702 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2702 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
