To determine if 3084 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3084.
If the factors of 3084 are only 3084 and 1, then we know that 3084 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3084 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3084 is only divisible by 1 and 3084, then it is a prime number, and if 3084 is divisible by more than 3084 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3084 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 257, 514, 771, 1028, 1542, 3084
Therefore, since 3084 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3084 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
