To determine if 3223 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3223.
If the factors of 3223 are only 3223 and 1, then we know that 3223 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3223 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3223 is only divisible by 1 and 3223, then it is a prime number, and if 3223 is divisible by more than 3223 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3223 are as follows:
1, 11, 293, 3223
Therefore, since 3223 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3223 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
