To determine if 3444 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3444.
If the factors of 3444 are only 3444 and 1, then we know that 3444 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3444 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3444 is only divisible by 1 and 3444, then it is a prime number, and if 3444 is divisible by more than 3444 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3444 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 41, 42, 82, 84, 123, 164, 246, 287, 492, 574, 861, 1148, 1722, 3444
Therefore, since 3444 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3444 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
