To determine if 3416 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3416.
If the factors of 3416 are only 3416 and 1, then we know that 3416 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3416 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3416 is only divisible by 1 and 3416, then it is a prime number, and if 3416 is divisible by more than 3416 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3416 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56, 61, 122, 244, 427, 488, 854, 1708, 3416
Therefore, since 3416 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3416 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3417 prime or composite?
