To determine if 2726 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2726.
If the factors of 2726 are only 2726 and 1, then we know that 2726 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2726 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2726 is only divisible by 1 and 2726, then it is a prime number, and if 2726 is divisible by more than 2726 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2726 are as follows:
1, 2, 29, 47, 58, 94, 1363, 2726
Therefore, since 2726 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
