To determine if 3028 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3028.
If the factors of 3028 are only 3028 and 1, then we know that 3028 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3028 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3028 is only divisible by 1 and 3028, then it is a prime number, and if 3028 is divisible by more than 3028 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3028 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 757, 1514, 3028
Therefore, since 3028 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
