To determine if 2774 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2774.
If the factors of 2774 are only 2774 and 1, then we know that 2774 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2774 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2774 is only divisible by 1 and 2774, then it is a prime number, and if 2774 is divisible by more than 2774 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2774 are as follows:
1, 2, 19, 38, 73, 146, 1387, 2774
Therefore, since 2774 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
