To determine if 3268 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3268.
If the factors of 3268 are only 3268 and 1, then we know that 3268 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3268 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3268 is only divisible by 1 and 3268, then it is a prime number, and if 3268 is divisible by more than 3268 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3268 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 43, 76, 86, 172, 817, 1634, 3268
Therefore, since 3268 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3268 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
