To determine if 2744 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2744.
If the factors of 2744 are only 2744 and 1, then we know that 2744 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2744 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2744 is only divisible by 1 and 2744, then it is a prime number, and if 2744 is divisible by more than 2744 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2744 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 49, 56, 98, 196, 343, 392, 686, 1372, 2744
Therefore, since 2744 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2744 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
