To determine if 3033 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3033.
If the factors of 3033 are only 3033 and 1, then we know that 3033 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3033 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3033 is only divisible by 1 and 3033, then it is a prime number, and if 3033 is divisible by more than 3033 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3033 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 337, 1011, 3033
Therefore, since 3033 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3033 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3034 prime or composite?
