To determine if 3057 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3057.
If the factors of 3057 are only 3057 and 1, then we know that 3057 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3057 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3057 is only divisible by 1 and 3057, then it is a prime number, and if 3057 is divisible by more than 3057 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3057 are as follows:
1, 3, 1019, 3057
Therefore, since 3057 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3057 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
