To determine if 3333 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3333.
If the factors of 3333 are only 3333 and 1, then we know that 3333 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3333 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3333 is only divisible by 1 and 3333, then it is a prime number, and if 3333 is divisible by more than 3333 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3333 are as follows:
1, 3, 11, 33, 101, 303, 1111, 3333
Therefore, since 3333 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3333 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
