To determine if 3910 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3910.
If the factors of 3910 are only 3910 and 1, then we know that 3910 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3910 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3910 is only divisible by 1 and 3910, then it is a prime number, and if 3910 is divisible by more than 3910 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3910 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 23, 34, 46, 85, 115, 170, 230, 391, 782, 1955, 3910
Therefore, since 3910 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3910 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3911 prime or composite?
