To determine if 3032 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3032.
If the factors of 3032 are only 3032 and 1, then we know that 3032 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3032 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3032 is only divisible by 1 and 3032, then it is a prime number, and if 3032 is divisible by more than 3032 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3032 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 379, 758, 1516, 3032
Therefore, since 3032 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3032 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3033 prime or composite?
