To determine if 3355 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3355.
If the factors of 3355 are only 3355 and 1, then we know that 3355 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3355 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3355 is only divisible by 1 and 3355, then it is a prime number, and if 3355 is divisible by more than 3355 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3355 are as follows:
1, 5, 11, 55, 61, 305, 671, 3355
Therefore, since 3355 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3355 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
