To determine if 3010 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3010.
If the factors of 3010 are only 3010 and 1, then we know that 3010 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3010 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3010 is only divisible by 1 and 3010, then it is a prime number, and if 3010 is divisible by more than 3010 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3010 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35, 43, 70, 86, 215, 301, 430, 602, 1505, 3010
Therefore, since 3010 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3010 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3011 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 3010 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
