To determine if 3228 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3228.
If the factors of 3228 are only 3228 and 1, then we know that 3228 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3228 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3228 is only divisible by 1 and 3228, then it is a prime number, and if 3228 is divisible by more than 3228 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3228 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 269, 538, 807, 1076, 1614, 3228
Therefore, since 3228 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3228 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
