To determine if 3008 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3008.
If the factors of 3008 are only 3008 and 1, then we know that 3008 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3008 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3008 is only divisible by 1 and 3008, then it is a prime number, and if 3008 is divisible by more than 3008 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3008 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 47, 64, 94, 188, 376, 752, 1504, 3008
Therefore, since 3008 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3008 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3009 prime or composite?
