To determine if 3564 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3564.
If the factors of 3564 are only 3564 and 1, then we know that 3564 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3564 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3564 is only divisible by 1 and 3564, then it is a prime number, and if 3564 is divisible by more than 3564 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3564 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 22, 27, 33, 36, 44, 54, 66, 81, 99, 108, 132, 162, 198, 297, 324, 396, 594, 891, 1188, 1782, 3564
Therefore, since 3564 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3564 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
