To determine if 3027 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3027.
If the factors of 3027 are only 3027 and 1, then we know that 3027 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3027 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3027 is only divisible by 1 and 3027, then it is a prime number, and if 3027 is divisible by more than 3027 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3027 are as follows:
1, 3, 1009, 3027
Therefore, since 3027 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3027 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
