To determine if 3069 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3069.
If the factors of 3069 are only 3069 and 1, then we know that 3069 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3069 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3069 is only divisible by 1 and 3069, then it is a prime number, and if 3069 is divisible by more than 3069 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3069 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 11, 31, 33, 93, 99, 279, 341, 1023, 3069
Therefore, since 3069 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3069 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
