To determine if 3011 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3011.
If the factors of 3011 are only 3011 and 1, then we know that 3011 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3011 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3011 is only divisible by 1 and 3011, then it is a prime number, and if 3011 is divisible by more than 3011 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3011 are as follows:
1, 3011
Therefore, since 3011 is divisible by only one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3011 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
prime
Is 3012 prime or composite?
