To determine if 3054 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3054.
If the factors of 3054 are only 3054 and 1, then we know that 3054 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3054 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3054 is only divisible by 1 and 3054, then it is a prime number, and if 3054 is divisible by more than 3054 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3054 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 509, 1018, 1527, 3054
Therefore, since 3054 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3054 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
