To determine if 3630 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3630.
If the factors of 3630 are only 3630 and 1, then we know that 3630 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3630 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3630 is only divisible by 1 and 3630, then it is a prime number, and if 3630 is divisible by more than 3630 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3630 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, 15, 22, 30, 33, 55, 66, 110, 121, 165, 242, 330, 363, 605, 726, 1210, 1815, 3630
Therefore, since 3630 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3630 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3631 prime or composite?
