To determine if 2936 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2936.
If the factors of 2936 are only 2936 and 1, then we know that 2936 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2936 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2936 is only divisible by 1 and 2936, then it is a prime number, and if 2936 is divisible by more than 2936 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2936 are as follows:
