To determine if 2731 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2731.
If the factors of 2731 are only 2731 and 1, then we know that 2731 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2731 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2731 is only divisible by 1 and 2731, then it is a prime number, and if 2731 is divisible by more than 2731 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2731 are as follows:
