To determine if 3465 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3465.
If the factors of 3465 are only 3465 and 1, then we know that 3465 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3465 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3465 is only divisible by 1 and 3465, then it is a prime number, and if 3465 is divisible by more than 3465 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3465 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 15, 21, 33, 35, 45, 55, 63, 77, 99, 105, 165, 231, 315, 385, 495, 693, 1155, 3465
Therefore, since 3465 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3465 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
