To determine if 3425 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3425.
If the factors of 3425 are only 3425 and 1, then we know that 3425 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3425 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3425 is only divisible by 1 and 3425, then it is a prime number, and if 3425 is divisible by more than 3425 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3425 are as follows:
1, 5, 25, 137, 685, 3425
Therefore, since 3425 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3425 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
