To determine if 3097 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3097.
If the factors of 3097 are only 3097 and 1, then we know that 3097 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3097 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3097 is only divisible by 1 and 3097, then it is a prime number, and if 3097 is divisible by more than 3097 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3097 are as follows:
