To determine if 2758 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2758.
If the factors of 2758 are only 2758 and 1, then we know that 2758 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2758 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2758 is only divisible by 1 and 2758, then it is a prime number, and if 2758 is divisible by more than 2758 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2758 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 197, 394, 1379, 2758
Therefore, since 2758 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
