To determine if 2761 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2761.
If the factors of 2761 are only 2761 and 1, then we know that 2761 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2761 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2761 is only divisible by 1 and 2761, then it is a prime number, and if 2761 is divisible by more than 2761 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2761 are as follows:
1, 11, 251, 2761
Therefore, since 2761 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2761 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2762 prime or composite?
