To determine if 2906 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2906.
If the factors of 2906 are only 2906 and 1, then we know that 2906 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2906 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2906 is only divisible by 1 and 2906, then it is a prime number, and if 2906 is divisible by more than 2906 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2906 are as follows:
