To determine if 3276 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3276.
If the factors of 3276 are only 3276 and 1, then we know that 3276 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3276 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3276 is only divisible by 1 and 3276, then it is a prime number, and if 3276 is divisible by more than 3276 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3276 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 13, 14, 18, 21, 26, 28, 36, 39, 42, 52, 63, 78, 84, 91, 117, 126, 156, 182, 234, 252, 273, 364, 468, 546, 819, 1092, 1638, 3276
Therefore, since 3276 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3276 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
