To determine if 2732 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2732.
If the factors of 2732 are only 2732 and 1, then we know that 2732 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2732 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2732 is only divisible by 1 and 2732, then it is a prime number, and if 2732 is divisible by more than 2732 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2732 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 683, 1366, 2732
Therefore, since 2732 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2732 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2733 prime or composite?
