To determine if 3076 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3076.
If the factors of 3076 are only 3076 and 1, then we know that 3076 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3076 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3076 is only divisible by 1 and 3076, then it is a prime number, and if 3076 is divisible by more than 3076 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3076 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 769, 1538, 3076
Therefore, since 3076 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3076 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3077 prime or composite?
