To determine if 3265 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3265.
If the factors of 3265 are only 3265 and 1, then we know that 3265 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3265 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3265 is only divisible by 1 and 3265, then it is a prime number, and if 3265 is divisible by more than 3265 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3265 are as follows:
1, 5, 653, 3265
Therefore, since 3265 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3265 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
