To determine if 2892 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2892.
If the factors of 2892 are only 2892 and 1, then we know that 2892 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2892 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2892 is only divisible by 1 and 2892, then it is a prime number, and if 2892 is divisible by more than 2892 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2892 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 241, 482, 723, 964, 1446, 2892
Therefore, since 2892 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2892 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
