To determine if 2935 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2935.
If the factors of 2935 are only 2935 and 1, then we know that 2935 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2935 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2935 is only divisible by 1 and 2935, then it is a prime number, and if 2935 is divisible by more than 2935 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2935 are as follows:
