To determine if 3051 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3051.
If the factors of 3051 are only 3051 and 1, then we know that 3051 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3051 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3051 is only divisible by 1 and 3051, then it is a prime number, and if 3051 is divisible by more than 3051 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3051 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 27, 113, 339, 1017, 3051
Therefore, since 3051 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3051 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3052 prime or composite?
