To determine if 3336 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3336.
If the factors of 3336 are only 3336 and 1, then we know that 3336 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3336 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3336 is only divisible by 1 and 3336, then it is a prime number, and if 3336 is divisible by more than 3336 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3336 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 139, 278, 417, 556, 834, 1112, 1668, 3336
Therefore, since 3336 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3336 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3337 prime or composite?
