To determine if 2934 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2934.
If the factors of 2934 are only 2934 and 1, then we know that 2934 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2934 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2934 is only divisible by 1 and 2934, then it is a prime number, and if 2934 is divisible by more than 2934 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2934 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 163, 326, 489, 978, 1467, 2934
