To determine if 3661 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3661.
If the factors of 3661 are only 3661 and 1, then we know that 3661 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3661 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3661 is only divisible by 1 and 3661, then it is a prime number, and if 3661 is divisible by more than 3661 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3661 are as follows:
1, 7, 523, 3661
Therefore, since 3661 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3661 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3662 prime or composite?
