To determine if 3835 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3835.
If the factors of 3835 are only 3835 and 1, then we know that 3835 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3835 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3835 is only divisible by 1 and 3835, then it is a prime number, and if 3835 is divisible by more than 3835 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3835 are as follows:
1, 5, 13, 59, 65, 295, 767, 3835
Therefore, since 3835 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3835 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
