To determine if 3206 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3206.
If the factors of 3206 are only 3206 and 1, then we know that 3206 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3206 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3206 is only divisible by 1 and 3206, then it is a prime number, and if 3206 is divisible by more than 3206 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3206 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 229, 458, 1603, 3206
Therefore, since 3206 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3206 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
