To determine if 2895 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2895.
If the factors of 2895 are only 2895 and 1, then we know that 2895 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2895 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2895 is only divisible by 1 and 2895, then it is a prime number, and if 2895 is divisible by more than 2895 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2895 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 193, 579, 965, 2895
Therefore, since 2895 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
