To determine if 3360 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3360.
If the factors of 3360 are only 3360 and 1, then we know that 3360 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3360 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3360 is only divisible by 1 and 3360, then it is a prime number, and if 3360 is divisible by more than 3360 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3360 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 24, 28, 30, 32, 35, 40, 42, 48, 56, 60, 70, 80, 84, 96, 105, 112, 120, 140, 160, 168, 210, 224, 240, 280, 336, 420, 480, 560, 672, 840, 1120, 1680, 3360
Therefore, since 3360 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3360 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
