To determine if 2889 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2889.
If the factors of 2889 are only 2889 and 1, then we know that 2889 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2889 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2889 is only divisible by 1 and 2889, then it is a prime number, and if 2889 is divisible by more than 2889 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2889 are as follows:
