To determine if 3024 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3024.
If the factors of 3024 are only 3024 and 1, then we know that 3024 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3024 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3024 is only divisible by 1 and 3024, then it is a prime number, and if 3024 is divisible by more than 3024 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3024 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, 24, 27, 28, 36, 42, 48, 54, 56, 63, 72, 84, 108, 112, 126, 144, 168, 189, 216, 252, 336, 378, 432, 504, 756, 1008, 1512, 3024
Therefore, since 3024 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3024 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3025 prime or composite?
