To determine if 3468 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3468.
If the factors of 3468 are only 3468 and 1, then we know that 3468 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3468 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3468 is only divisible by 1 and 3468, then it is a prime number, and if 3468 is divisible by more than 3468 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3468 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 17, 34, 51, 68, 102, 204, 289, 578, 867, 1156, 1734, 3468
Therefore, since 3468 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3468 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
