To determine if 3205 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3205.
If the factors of 3205 are only 3205 and 1, then we know that 3205 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3205 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3205 is only divisible by 1 and 3205, then it is a prime number, and if 3205 is divisible by more than 3205 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3205 are as follows:
1, 5, 641, 3205
Therefore, since 3205 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3205 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
