To determine if 3302 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3302.
If the factors of 3302 are only 3302 and 1, then we know that 3302 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3302 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3302 is only divisible by 1 and 3302, then it is a prime number, and if 3302 is divisible by more than 3302 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3302 are as follows:
1, 2, 13, 26, 127, 254, 1651, 3302
Therefore, since 3302 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3302 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
