To determine if 3348 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3348.
If the factors of 3348 are only 3348 and 1, then we know that 3348 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3348 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3348 is only divisible by 1 and 3348, then it is a prime number, and if 3348 is divisible by more than 3348 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3348 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 31, 36, 54, 62, 93, 108, 124, 186, 279, 372, 558, 837, 1116, 1674, 3348
Therefore, since 3348 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3348 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
