To determine if 2844 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2844.
If the factors of 2844 are only 2844 and 1, then we know that 2844 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2844 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2844 is only divisible by 1 and 2844, then it is a prime number, and if 2844 is divisible by more than 2844 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2844 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36, 79, 158, 237, 316, 474, 711, 948, 1422, 2844
Therefore, since 2844 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2844 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
