To determine if 3404 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3404.
If the factors of 3404 are only 3404 and 1, then we know that 3404 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3404 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3404 is only divisible by 1 and 3404, then it is a prime number, and if 3404 is divisible by more than 3404 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3404 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 23, 37, 46, 74, 92, 148, 851, 1702, 3404
Therefore, since 3404 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3404 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
