To determine if 3263 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3263.
If the factors of 3263 are only 3263 and 1, then we know that 3263 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3263 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3263 is only divisible by 1 and 3263, then it is a prime number, and if 3263 is divisible by more than 3263 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3263 are as follows:
1, 13, 251, 3263
Therefore, since 3263 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3263 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3264 prime or composite?
