To determine if 2954 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2954.
If the factors of 2954 are only 2954 and 1, then we know that 2954 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2954 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2954 is only divisible by 1 and 2954, then it is a prime number, and if 2954 is divisible by more than 2954 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2954 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 211, 422, 1477, 2954
