To determine if 2932 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2932.
If the factors of 2932 are only 2932 and 1, then we know that 2932 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2932 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2932 is only divisible by 1 and 2932, then it is a prime number, and if 2932 is divisible by more than 2932 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2932 are as follows:
