To determine if 3606 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3606.
If the factors of 3606 are only 3606 and 1, then we know that 3606 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3606 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3606 is only divisible by 1 and 3606, then it is a prime number, and if 3606 is divisible by more than 3606 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3606 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 601, 1202, 1803, 3606
Therefore, since 3606 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3606 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
