To determine if 3340 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3340.
If the factors of 3340 are only 3340 and 1, then we know that 3340 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3340 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3340 is only divisible by 1 and 3340, then it is a prime number, and if 3340 is divisible by more than 3340 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3340 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 167, 334, 668, 835, 1670, 3340
Therefore, since 3340 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3340 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3341 prime or composite?
