To determine if 3506 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3506.
If the factors of 3506 are only 3506 and 1, then we know that 3506 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3506 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3506 is only divisible by 1 and 3506, then it is a prime number, and if 3506 is divisible by more than 3506 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3506 are as follows:
1, 2, 1753, 3506
Therefore, since 3506 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3506 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
