To determine if 2902 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2902.
If the factors of 2902 are only 2902 and 1, then we know that 2902 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2902 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2902 is only divisible by 1 and 2902, then it is a prime number, and if 2902 is divisible by more than 2902 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2902 are as follows:
1, 2, 1451, 2902
Therefore, since 2902 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2902 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2903 prime or composite?
