To determine if 3275 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3275.
If the factors of 3275 are only 3275 and 1, then we know that 3275 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3275 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3275 is only divisible by 1 and 3275, then it is a prime number, and if 3275 is divisible by more than 3275 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3275 are as follows:
1, 5, 25, 131, 655, 3275
Therefore, since 3275 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3275 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
