To determine if 3060 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3060.
If the factors of 3060 are only 3060 and 1, then we know that 3060 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3060 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3060 is only divisible by 1 and 3060, then it is a prime number, and if 3060 is divisible by more than 3060 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3060 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 17, 18, 20, 30, 34, 36, 45, 51, 60, 68, 85, 90, 102, 153, 170, 180, 204, 255, 306, 340, 510, 612, 765, 1020, 1530, 3060
Therefore, since 3060 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3060 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3061 prime or composite?
