To determine if 3351 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3351.
If the factors of 3351 are only 3351 and 1, then we know that 3351 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3351 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3351 is only divisible by 1 and 3351, then it is a prime number, and if 3351 is divisible by more than 3351 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3351 are as follows:
1, 3, 1117, 3351
Therefore, since 3351 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3351 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3352 prime or composite?
