To determine if 2930 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2930.
If the factors of 2930 are only 2930 and 1, then we know that 2930 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2930 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2930 is only divisible by 1 and 2930, then it is a prime number, and if 2930 is divisible by more than 2930 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2930 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 293, 586, 1465, 2930
Therefore, since 2930 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2930 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
