To determine if 3411 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3411.
If the factors of 3411 are only 3411 and 1, then we know that 3411 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3411 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3411 is only divisible by 1 and 3411, then it is a prime number, and if 3411 is divisible by more than 3411 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3411 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 379, 1137, 3411
Therefore, since 3411 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3411 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
