To determine if 3153 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3153.
If the factors of 3153 are only 3153 and 1, then we know that 3153 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3153 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3153 is only divisible by 1 and 3153, then it is a prime number, and if 3153 is divisible by more than 3153 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3153 are as follows:
1, 3, 1051, 3153
Therefore, since 3153 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3153 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
