To determine if 3904 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3904.
If the factors of 3904 are only 3904 and 1, then we know that 3904 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3904 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3904 is only divisible by 1 and 3904, then it is a prime number, and if 3904 is divisible by more than 3904 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3904 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 61, 64, 122, 244, 488, 976, 1952, 3904
Therefore, since 3904 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3904 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
