To determine if 2951 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2951.
If the factors of 2951 are only 2951 and 1, then we know that 2951 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2951 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2951 is only divisible by 1 and 2951, then it is a prime number, and if 2951 is divisible by more than 2951 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2951 are as follows:
1, 13, 227, 2951
Therefore, since 2951 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2951 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2952 prime or composite?
