To determine if 3226 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3226.
If the factors of 3226 are only 3226 and 1, then we know that 3226 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3226 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3226 is only divisible by 1 and 3226, then it is a prime number, and if 3226 is divisible by more than 3226 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3226 are as follows:
1, 2, 1613, 3226
Therefore, since 3226 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3226 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
