To determine if 2910 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2910.
If the factors of 2910 are only 2910 and 1, then we know that 2910 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2910 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2910 is only divisible by 1 and 2910, then it is a prime number, and if 2910 is divisible by more than 2910 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2910 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30, 97, 194, 291, 485, 582, 970, 1455, 2910
Therefore, since 2910 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2910 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2911 prime or composite?
