To determine if 3303 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3303.
If the factors of 3303 are only 3303 and 1, then we know that 3303 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3303 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3303 is only divisible by 1 and 3303, then it is a prime number, and if 3303 is divisible by more than 3303 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3303 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 367, 1101, 3303
Therefore, since 3303 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3303 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
