To determine if 2827 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2827.
If the factors of 2827 are only 2827 and 1, then we know that 2827 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2827 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2827 is only divisible by 1 and 2827, then it is a prime number, and if 2827 is divisible by more than 2827 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2827 are as follows:
