To determine if 2928 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2928.
If the factors of 2928 are only 2928 and 1, then we know that 2928 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2928 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2928 is only divisible by 1 and 2928, then it is a prime number, and if 2928 is divisible by more than 2928 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2928 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, 61, 122, 183, 244, 366, 488, 732, 976, 1464, 2928
Therefore, since 2928 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2928 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
