To determine if 3068 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3068.
If the factors of 3068 are only 3068 and 1, then we know that 3068 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3068 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3068 is only divisible by 1 and 3068, then it is a prime number, and if 3068 is divisible by more than 3068 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3068 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52, 59, 118, 236, 767, 1534, 3068
Therefore, since 3068 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3068 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3069 prime or composite?
