To determine if 2834 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2834.
If the factors of 2834 are only 2834 and 1, then we know that 2834 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2834 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2834 is only divisible by 1 and 2834, then it is a prime number, and if 2834 is divisible by more than 2834 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2834 are as follows:
1, 2, 13, 26, 109, 218, 1417, 2834
Therefore, since 2834 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
