To determine if 2937 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2937.
If the factors of 2937 are only 2937 and 1, then we know that 2937 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2937 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2937 is only divisible by 1 and 2937, then it is a prime number, and if 2937 is divisible by more than 2937 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2937 are as follows:
1, 3, 11, 33, 89, 267, 979, 2937
