To determine if 3330 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3330.
If the factors of 3330 are only 3330 and 1, then we know that 3330 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3330 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3330 is only divisible by 1 and 3330, then it is a prime number, and if 3330 is divisible by more than 3330 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3330 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30, 37, 45, 74, 90, 111, 185, 222, 333, 370, 555, 666, 1110, 1665, 3330
Therefore, since 3330 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3330 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
