To determine if 3074 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3074.
If the factors of 3074 are only 3074 and 1, then we know that 3074 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3074 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3074 is only divisible by 1 and 3074, then it is a prime number, and if 3074 is divisible by more than 3074 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3074 are as follows:
1, 2, 29, 53, 58, 106, 1537, 3074
Therefore, since 3074 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3074 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
