To determine if 3354 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3354.
If the factors of 3354 are only 3354 and 1, then we know that 3354 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3354 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3354 is only divisible by 1 and 3354, then it is a prime number, and if 3354 is divisible by more than 3354 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3354 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 39, 43, 78, 86, 129, 258, 559, 1118, 1677, 3354
Therefore, since 3354 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3354 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
