To determine if 3570 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3570.
If the factors of 3570 are only 3570 and 1, then we know that 3570 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3570 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3570 is only divisible by 1 and 3570, then it is a prime number, and if 3570 is divisible by more than 3570 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3570 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 14, 15, 17, 21, 30, 34, 35, 42, 51, 70, 85, 102, 105, 119, 170, 210, 238, 255, 357, 510, 595, 714, 1190, 1785, 3570
Therefore, since 3570 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3570 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
