To determine if 3415 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3415.
If the factors of 3415 are only 3415 and 1, then we know that 3415 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3415 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3415 is only divisible by 1 and 3415, then it is a prime number, and if 3415 is divisible by more than 3415 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3415 are as follows:
1, 5, 683, 3415
Therefore, since 3415 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3415 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
