To determine if 3026 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3026.
If the factors of 3026 are only 3026 and 1, then we know that 3026 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3026 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3026 is only divisible by 1 and 3026, then it is a prime number, and if 3026 is divisible by more than 3026 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3026 are as follows:
1, 2, 17, 34, 89, 178, 1513, 3026
Therefore, since 3026 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3026 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
