To determine if 3375 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3375.
If the factors of 3375 are only 3375 and 1, then we know that 3375 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3375 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3375 is only divisible by 1 and 3375, then it is a prime number, and if 3375 is divisible by more than 3375 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3375 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 25, 27, 45, 75, 125, 135, 225, 375, 675, 1125, 3375
Therefore, since 3375 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3375 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3376 prime or composite?
