To determine if 3310 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3310.
If the factors of 3310 are only 3310 and 1, then we know that 3310 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3310 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3310 is only divisible by 1 and 3310, then it is a prime number, and if 3310 is divisible by more than 3310 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3310 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 331, 662, 1655, 3310
Therefore, since 3310 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3310 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
