To determine if 3927 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3927.
If the factors of 3927 are only 3927 and 1, then we know that 3927 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3927 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3927 is only divisible by 1 and 3927, then it is a prime number, and if 3927 is divisible by more than 3927 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3927 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 11, 17, 21, 33, 51, 77, 119, 187, 231, 357, 561, 1309, 3927
Therefore, since 3927 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3927 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
