To determine if 2926 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2926.
If the factors of 2926 are only 2926 and 1, then we know that 2926 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2926 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2926 is only divisible by 1 and 2926, then it is a prime number, and if 2926 is divisible by more than 2926 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2926 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 11, 14, 19, 22, 38, 77, 133, 154, 209, 266, 418, 1463, 2926
Therefore, since 2926 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2926 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
