To determine if 2904 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2904.
If the factors of 2904 are only 2904 and 1, then we know that 2904 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2904 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2904 is only divisible by 1 and 2904, then it is a prime number, and if 2904 is divisible by more than 2904 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2904 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 22, 24, 33, 44, 66, 88, 121, 132, 242, 264, 363, 484, 726, 968, 1452, 2904
Therefore, since 2904 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2904 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
