To determine if 3088 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3088.
If the factors of 3088 are only 3088 and 1, then we know that 3088 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3088 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3088 is only divisible by 1 and 3088, then it is a prime number, and if 3088 is divisible by more than 3088 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3088 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 193, 386, 772, 1544, 3088
Therefore, since 3088 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3088 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
