To determine if 3233 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3233.
If the factors of 3233 are only 3233 and 1, then we know that 3233 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3233 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3233 is only divisible by 1 and 3233, then it is a prime number, and if 3233 is divisible by more than 3233 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3233 are as follows:
1, 53, 61, 3233
Therefore, since 3233 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3233 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3234 prime or composite?
