To determine if 3381 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3381.
If the factors of 3381 are only 3381 and 1, then we know that 3381 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3381 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3381 is only divisible by 1 and 3381, then it is a prime number, and if 3381 is divisible by more than 3381 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3381 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 21, 23, 49, 69, 147, 161, 483, 1127, 3381
Therefore, since 3381 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3381 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3382 prime or composite?
