To determine if 3311 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3311.
If the factors of 3311 are only 3311 and 1, then we know that 3311 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3311 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3311 is only divisible by 1 and 3311, then it is a prime number, and if 3311 is divisible by more than 3311 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3311 are as follows:
1, 7, 11, 43, 77, 301, 473, 3311
Therefore, since 3311 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3311 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3312 prime or composite?
