To determine if 3095 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3095.
If the factors of 3095 are only 3095 and 1, then we know that 3095 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3095 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3095 is only divisible by 1 and 3095, then it is a prime number, and if 3095 is divisible by more than 3095 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3095 are as follows:
1, 5, 619, 3095
Therefore, since 3095 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3095 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3096 prime or composite?
