To determine if 3317 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3317.
If the factors of 3317 are only 3317 and 1, then we know that 3317 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3317 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3317 is only divisible by 1 and 3317, then it is a prime number, and if 3317 is divisible by more than 3317 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3317 are as follows:
1, 31, 107, 3317
Therefore, since 3317 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3317 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
