To determine if 3514 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3514.
If the factors of 3514 are only 3514 and 1, then we know that 3514 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3514 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3514 is only divisible by 1 and 3514, then it is a prime number, and if 3514 is divisible by more than 3514 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3514 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 251, 502, 1757, 3514
Therefore, since 3514 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3514 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
