To determine if 2924 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2924.
If the factors of 2924 are only 2924 and 1, then we know that 2924 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2924 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2924 is only divisible by 1 and 2924, then it is a prime number, and if 2924 is divisible by more than 2924 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2924 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 43, 68, 86, 172, 731, 1462, 2924
