To determine if 3202 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3202.
If the factors of 3202 are only 3202 and 1, then we know that 3202 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3202 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3202 is only divisible by 1 and 3202, then it is a prime number, and if 3202 is divisible by more than 3202 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3202 are as follows:
1, 2, 1601, 3202
Therefore, since 3202 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3202 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3203 prime or composite?
