To determine if 3318 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3318.
If the factors of 3318 are only 3318 and 1, then we know that 3318 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3318 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3318 is only divisible by 1 and 3318, then it is a prime number, and if 3318 is divisible by more than 3318 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3318 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 79, 158, 237, 474, 553, 1106, 1659, 3318
Therefore, since 3318 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3318 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3319 prime or composite?
