To determine if 3006 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3006.
If the factors of 3006 are only 3006 and 1, then we know that 3006 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3006 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3006 is only divisible by 1 and 3006, then it is a prime number, and if 3006 is divisible by more than 3006 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3006 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 167, 334, 501, 1002, 1503, 3006
Therefore, since 3006 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3006 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3007 prime or composite?
