To determine if 3211 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3211.
If the factors of 3211 are only 3211 and 1, then we know that 3211 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3211 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3211 is only divisible by 1 and 3211, then it is a prime number, and if 3211 is divisible by more than 3211 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3211 are as follows:
1, 13, 19, 169, 247, 3211
Therefore, since 3211 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3211 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3212 prime or composite?
