To determine if 3252 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3252.
If the factors of 3252 are only 3252 and 1, then we know that 3252 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3252 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3252 is only divisible by 1 and 3252, then it is a prime number, and if 3252 is divisible by more than 3252 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3252 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 271, 542, 813, 1084, 1626, 3252
Therefore, since 3252 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3252 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3253 prime or composite?
