To determine if 3020 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3020.
If the factors of 3020 are only 3020 and 1, then we know that 3020 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3020 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3020 is only divisible by 1 and 3020, then it is a prime number, and if 3020 is divisible by more than 3020 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3020 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 151, 302, 604, 755, 1510, 3020
Therefore, since 3020 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3020 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3021 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 3020 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.
