To determine if 2941 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2941.
If the factors of 2941 are only 2941 and 1, then we know that 2941 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2941 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2941 is only divisible by 1 and 2941, then it is a prime number, and if 2941 is divisible by more than 2941 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2941 are as follows:
1, 17, 173, 2941
Therefore, since 2941 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2941 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
