To determine if 3576 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3576.
If the factors of 3576 are only 3576 and 1, then we know that 3576 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3576 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3576 is only divisible by 1 and 3576, then it is a prime number, and if 3576 is divisible by more than 3576 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3576 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 149, 298, 447, 596, 894, 1192, 1788, 3576
Therefore, since 3576 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3576 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
