To determine if 2914 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2914.
If the factors of 2914 are only 2914 and 1, then we know that 2914 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2914 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2914 is only divisible by 1 and 2914, then it is a prime number, and if 2914 is divisible by more than 2914 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2914 are as follows:
1, 2, 31, 47, 62, 94, 1457, 2914
