To determine if 3441 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3441.
If the factors of 3441 are only 3441 and 1, then we know that 3441 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3441 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3441 is only divisible by 1 and 3441, then it is a prime number, and if 3441 is divisible by more than 3441 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3441 are as follows:
1, 3, 31, 37, 93, 111, 1147, 3441
Therefore, since 3441 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3441 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
