To determine if 3050 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3050.
If the factors of 3050 are only 3050 and 1, then we know that 3050 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3050 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3050 is only divisible by 1 and 3050, then it is a prime number, and if 3050 is divisible by more than 3050 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3050 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 61, 122, 305, 610, 1525, 3050
Therefore, since 3050 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3050 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3051 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 3050 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
