To determine if 2931 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2931.
If the factors of 2931 are only 2931 and 1, then we know that 2931 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2931 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2931 is only divisible by 1 and 2931, then it is a prime number, and if 2931 is divisible by more than 2931 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2931 are as follows:
1, 3, 977, 2931
Therefore, since 2931 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2931 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2932 prime or composite?
