To determine if 3301 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3301.
If the factors of 3301 are only 3301 and 1, then we know that 3301 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3301 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3301 is only divisible by 1 and 3301, then it is a prime number, and if 3301 is divisible by more than 3301 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3301 are as follows:
1, 3301
Therefore, since 3301 is divisible by only one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3301 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
prime
