To determine if 3270 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3270.
If the factors of 3270 are only 3270 and 1, then we know that 3270 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3270 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3270 is only divisible by 1 and 3270, then it is a prime number, and if 3270 is divisible by more than 3270 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3270 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30, 109, 218, 327, 545, 654, 1090, 1635, 3270
Therefore, since 3270 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3270 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3271 prime or composite?
