To determine if 3232 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3232.
If the factors of 3232 are only 3232 and 1, then we know that 3232 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3232 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3232 is only divisible by 1 and 3232, then it is a prime number, and if 3232 is divisible by more than 3232 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3232 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 101, 202, 404, 808, 1616, 3232
Therefore, since 3232 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3232 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3233 prime or composite?
