To determine if 3291 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3291.
If the factors of 3291 are only 3291 and 1, then we know that 3291 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3291 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3291 is only divisible by 1 and 3291, then it is a prime number, and if 3291 is divisible by more than 3291 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3291 are as follows:
1, 3, 1097, 3291
Therefore, since 3291 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3291 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
