To determine if 3584 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3584.
If the factors of 3584 are only 3584 and 1, then we know that 3584 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3584 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3584 is only divisible by 1 and 3584, then it is a prime number, and if 3584 is divisible by more than 3584 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3584 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 32, 56, 64, 112, 128, 224, 256, 448, 512, 896, 1792, 3584
Therefore, since 3584 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3584 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
