To determine if 3092 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3092.
If the factors of 3092 are only 3092 and 1, then we know that 3092 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3092 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3092 is only divisible by 1 and 3092, then it is a prime number, and if 3092 is divisible by more than 3092 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3092 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 773, 1546, 3092
Therefore, since 3092 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
