To determine if 3047 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3047.
If the factors of 3047 are only 3047 and 1, then we know that 3047 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3047 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3047 is only divisible by 1 and 3047, then it is a prime number, and if 3047 is divisible by more than 3047 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3047 are as follows:
1, 11, 277, 3047
Therefore, since 3047 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3047 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
