To determine if 2708 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2708.
If the factors of 2708 are only 2708 and 1, then we know that 2708 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2708 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2708 is only divisible by 1 and 2708, then it is a prime number, and if 2708 is divisible by more than 2708 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2708 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 677, 1354, 2708
Therefore, since 2708 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2708 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
