To determine if 2893 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2893.
If the factors of 2893 are only 2893 and 1, then we know that 2893 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2893 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2893 is only divisible by 1 and 2893, then it is a prime number, and if 2893 is divisible by more than 2893 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2893 are as follows:
