To determine if 3091 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3091.
If the factors of 3091 are only 3091 and 1, then we know that 3091 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3091 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3091 is only divisible by 1 and 3091, then it is a prime number, and if 3091 is divisible by more than 3091 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3091 are as follows:
1, 11, 281, 3091
Therefore, since 3091 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3091 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3092 prime or composite?
