To determine if 3104 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3104.
If the factors of 3104 are only 3104 and 1, then we know that 3104 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3104 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3104 is only divisible by 1 and 3104, then it is a prime number, and if 3104 is divisible by more than 3104 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3104 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 97, 194, 388, 776, 1552, 3104
Therefore, since 3104 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3104 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
