To determine if 2754 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2754.
If the factors of 2754 are only 2754 and 1, then we know that 2754 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2754 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2754 is only divisible by 1 and 2754, then it is a prime number, and if 2754 is divisible by more than 2754 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2754 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 17, 18, 27, 34, 51, 54, 81, 102, 153, 162, 306, 459, 918, 1377, 2754
Therefore, since 2754 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2754 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
