To determine if 3392 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3392.
If the factors of 3392 are only 3392 and 1, then we know that 3392 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3392 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3392 is only divisible by 1 and 3392, then it is a prime number, and if 3392 is divisible by more than 3392 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3392 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 53, 64, 106, 212, 424, 848, 1696, 3392
Therefore, since 3392 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3392 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
