To determine if 3735 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3735.
If the factors of 3735 are only 3735 and 1, then we know that 3735 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3735 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3735 is only divisible by 1 and 3735, then it is a prime number, and if 3735 is divisible by more than 3735 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3735 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45, 83, 249, 415, 747, 1245, 3735
Therefore, since 3735 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3735 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
