To determine if 3029 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3029.
If the factors of 3029 are only 3029 and 1, then we know that 3029 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3029 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3029 is only divisible by 1 and 3029, then it is a prime number, and if 3029 is divisible by more than 3029 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3029 are as follows:
