To determine if 3034 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3034.
If the factors of 3034 are only 3034 and 1, then we know that 3034 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3034 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3034 is only divisible by 1 and 3034, then it is a prime number, and if 3034 is divisible by more than 3034 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3034 are as follows:
1, 2, 37, 41, 74, 82, 1517, 3034
Therefore, since 3034 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3034 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
