To determine if 2891 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2891.
If the factors of 2891 are only 2891 and 1, then we know that 2891 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2891 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2891 is only divisible by 1 and 2891, then it is a prime number, and if 2891 is divisible by more than 2891 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2891 are as follows:
1, 7, 49, 59, 413, 2891
Therefore, since 2891 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2891 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2892 prime or composite?
