To determine if 2883 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2883.
If the factors of 2883 are only 2883 and 1, then we know that 2883 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2883 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2883 is only divisible by 1 and 2883, then it is a prime number, and if 2883 is divisible by more than 2883 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2883 are as follows:
1, 3, 31, 93, 961, 2883
Therefore, since 2883 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2883 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
