To determine if 3641 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3641.
If the factors of 3641 are only 3641 and 1, then we know that 3641 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3641 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3641 is only divisible by 1 and 3641, then it is a prime number, and if 3641 is divisible by more than 3641 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3641 are as follows:
1, 11, 331, 3641
Therefore, since 3641 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3641 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3642 prime or composite?
