To determine if 2835 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2835.
If the factors of 2835 are only 2835 and 1, then we know that 2835 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2835 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2835 is only divisible by 1 and 2835, then it is a prime number, and if 2835 is divisible by more than 2835 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2835 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 15, 21, 27, 35, 45, 63, 81, 105, 135, 189, 315, 405, 567, 945, 2835
Therefore, since 2835 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2835 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2836 prime or composite?
