To determine if 3300 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3300.
If the factors of 3300 are only 3300 and 1, then we know that 3300 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3300 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3300 is only divisible by 1 and 3300, then it is a prime number, and if 3300 is divisible by more than 3300 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3300 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20, 22, 25, 30, 33, 44, 50, 55, 60, 66, 75, 100, 110, 132, 150, 165, 220, 275, 300, 330, 550, 660, 825, 1100, 1650, 3300
Therefore, since 3300 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3300 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3301 prime or composite?
