To determine if 3572 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3572.
If the factors of 3572 are only 3572 and 1, then we know that 3572 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3572 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3572 is only divisible by 1 and 3572, then it is a prime number, and if 3572 is divisible by more than 3572 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3572 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 47, 76, 94, 188, 893, 1786, 3572
Therefore, since 3572 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3572 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
