To determine if 3624 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3624.
If the factors of 3624 are only 3624 and 1, then we know that 3624 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3624 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3624 is only divisible by 1 and 3624, then it is a prime number, and if 3624 is divisible by more than 3624 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3624 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 151, 302, 453, 604, 906, 1208, 1812, 3624
Therefore, since 3624 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3624 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3625 prime or composite?
