To determine if 3013 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3013.
If the factors of 3013 are only 3013 and 1, then we know that 3013 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3013 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3013 is only divisible by 1 and 3013, then it is a prime number, and if 3013 is divisible by more than 3013 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3013 are as follows:
1, 23, 131, 3013
Therefore, since 3013 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3013 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3014 prime or composite?
