To determine if 3388 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3388.
If the factors of 3388 are only 3388 and 1, then we know that 3388 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3388 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3388 is only divisible by 1 and 3388, then it is a prime number, and if 3388 is divisible by more than 3388 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3388 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 14, 22, 28, 44, 77, 121, 154, 242, 308, 484, 847, 1694, 3388
Therefore, since 3388 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3388 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
