To determine if 2793 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2793.
If the factors of 2793 are only 2793 and 1, then we know that 2793 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2793 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2793 is only divisible by 1 and 2793, then it is a prime number, and if 2793 is divisible by more than 2793 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2793 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 19, 21, 49, 57, 133, 147, 399, 931, 2793
Therefore, since 2793 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
