To determine if 3320 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3320.
If the factors of 3320 are only 3320 and 1, then we know that 3320 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3320 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3320 is only divisible by 1 and 3320, then it is a prime number, and if 3320 is divisible by more than 3320 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3320 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40, 83, 166, 332, 415, 664, 830, 1660, 3320
Therefore, since 3320 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3320 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3321 prime or composite?
