To determine if 3294 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3294.
If the factors of 3294 are only 3294 and 1, then we know that 3294 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3294 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3294 is only divisible by 1 and 3294, then it is a prime number, and if 3294 is divisible by more than 3294 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3294 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 61, 122, 183, 366, 549, 1098, 1647, 3294
Therefore, since 3294 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3294 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
