To determine if 3031 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3031.
If the factors of 3031 are only 3031 and 1, then we know that 3031 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3031 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3031 is only divisible by 1 and 3031, then it is a prime number, and if 3031 is divisible by more than 3031 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3031 are as follows:
1, 7, 433, 3031
Therefore, since 3031 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3031 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3032 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 3031 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
