To determine if 3254 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3254.
If the factors of 3254 are only 3254 and 1, then we know that 3254 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3254 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3254 is only divisible by 1 and 3254, then it is a prime number, and if 3254 is divisible by more than 3254 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3254 are as follows:
1, 2, 1627, 3254
Therefore, since 3254 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3254 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
