To determine if 3335 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3335.
If the factors of 3335 are only 3335 and 1, then we know that 3335 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3335 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3335 is only divisible by 1 and 3335, then it is a prime number, and if 3335 is divisible by more than 3335 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3335 are as follows:
1, 5, 23, 29, 115, 145, 667, 3335
Therefore, since 3335 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3335 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
