To determine if 3044 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3044.
If the factors of 3044 are only 3044 and 1, then we know that 3044 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3044 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3044 is only divisible by 1 and 3044, then it is a prime number, and if 3044 is divisible by more than 3044 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3044 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 761, 1522, 3044
Therefore, since 3044 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3044 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
