To determine if 2807 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2807.
If the factors of 2807 are only 2807 and 1, then we know that 2807 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2807 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2807 is only divisible by 1 and 2807, then it is a prime number, and if 2807 is divisible by more than 2807 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2807 are as follows:
1, 7, 401, 2807
Therefore, since 2807 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2807 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2808 prime or composite?
