To determine if 2735 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2735.
If the factors of 2735 are only 2735 and 1, then we know that 2735 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2735 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2735 is only divisible by 1 and 2735, then it is a prime number, and if 2735 is divisible by more than 2735 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2735 are as follows:
1, 5, 547, 2735
Therefore, since 2735 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2735 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2736 prime or composite?
