To determine if 3316 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3316.
If the factors of 3316 are only 3316 and 1, then we know that 3316 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3316 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3316 is only divisible by 1 and 3316, then it is a prime number, and if 3316 is divisible by more than 3316 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3316 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 829, 1658, 3316
Therefore, since 3316 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3316 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
