To determine if 3304 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3304.
If the factors of 3304 are only 3304 and 1, then we know that 3304 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3304 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3304 is only divisible by 1 and 3304, then it is a prime number, and if 3304 is divisible by more than 3304 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3304 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56, 59, 118, 236, 413, 472, 826, 1652, 3304
Therefore, since 3304 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3304 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
