To determine if 3435 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3435.
If the factors of 3435 are only 3435 and 1, then we know that 3435 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3435 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3435 is only divisible by 1 and 3435, then it is a prime number, and if 3435 is divisible by more than 3435 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3435 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 229, 687, 1145, 3435
Therefore, since 3435 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3435 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
