To determine if 3344 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3344.
If the factors of 3344 are only 3344 and 1, then we know that 3344 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3344 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3344 is only divisible by 1 and 3344, then it is a prime number, and if 3344 is divisible by more than 3344 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3344 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 19, 22, 38, 44, 76, 88, 152, 176, 209, 304, 418, 836, 1672, 3344
Therefore, since 3344 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3344 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
