To determine if 2762 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2762.
If the factors of 2762 are only 2762 and 1, then we know that 2762 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2762 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2762 is only divisible by 1 and 2762, then it is a prime number, and if 2762 is divisible by more than 2762 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2762 are as follows:
1, 2, 1381, 2762
Therefore, since 2762 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2762 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2763 prime or composite?
