To determine if 3614 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3614.
If the factors of 3614 are only 3614 and 1, then we know that 3614 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3614 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3614 is only divisible by 1 and 3614, then it is a prime number, and if 3614 is divisible by more than 3614 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3614 are as follows:
1, 2, 13, 26, 139, 278, 1807, 3614
Therefore, since 3614 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3614 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
