To determine if 3106 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3106.
If the factors of 3106 are only 3106 and 1, then we know that 3106 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3106 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3106 is only divisible by 1 and 3106, then it is a prime number, and if 3106 is divisible by more than 3106 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3106 are as follows:
1, 2, 1553, 3106
Therefore, since 3106 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3106 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
