To determine if 3262 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3262.
If the factors of 3262 are only 3262 and 1, then we know that 3262 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3262 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3262 is only divisible by 1 and 3262, then it is a prime number, and if 3262 is divisible by more than 3262 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3262 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 233, 466, 1631, 3262
Therefore, since 3262 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3262 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
