To determine if 2848 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2848.
If the factors of 2848 are only 2848 and 1, then we know that 2848 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2848 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2848 is only divisible by 1 and 2848, then it is a prime number, and if 2848 is divisible by more than 2848 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2848 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 89, 178, 356, 712, 1424, 2848
