To determine if 2727 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2727.
If the factors of 2727 are only 2727 and 1, then we know that 2727 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2727 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2727 is only divisible by 1 and 2727, then it is a prime number, and if 2727 is divisible by more than 2727 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2727 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 27, 101, 303, 909, 2727
Therefore, since 2727 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
