To determine if 3406 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3406.
If the factors of 3406 are only 3406 and 1, then we know that 3406 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3406 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3406 is only divisible by 1 and 3406, then it is a prime number, and if 3406 is divisible by more than 3406 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3406 are as follows:
1, 2, 13, 26, 131, 262, 1703, 3406
Therefore, since 3406 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3406 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
