To determine if 3384 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3384.
If the factors of 3384 are only 3384 and 1, then we know that 3384 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3384 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3384 is only divisible by 1 and 3384, then it is a prime number, and if 3384 is divisible by more than 3384 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3384 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 47, 72, 94, 141, 188, 282, 376, 423, 564, 846, 1128, 1692, 3384
Therefore, since 3384 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3384 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
