To determine if 3924 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3924.
If the factors of 3924 are only 3924 and 1, then we know that 3924 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3924 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3924 is only divisible by 1 and 3924, then it is a prime number, and if 3924 is divisible by more than 3924 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3924 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36, 109, 218, 327, 436, 654, 981, 1308, 1962, 3924
Therefore, since 3924 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3924 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
