Factors of 3014:
- If we have taken numbers from 1, 2, 3…for checking factors of 3014, we found that 3014 has factors 1, 2, 11, 22, 137, 274, 1507 and 3014. Hence, we must say that 3014 is a composite number.
- Thus, 3014 is the composite number.
- If we multiply 3014 by 1, 2, 3 then we get the multiples of 3014 which are 3014, 6028 and so on.
About the number 3014:
- 3014 has more than two factors which are 1, 2, 11, 22, 137, 274, 1507 and 3014 and hence it is the composite number.
- 3014 is the even composite number and it is not the perfect square also.
- If we divide 3014 by, 1, 2, 11, 22, 137, 274, 1507 and 3014 then we get remainder as zero. Hence, 1, 2, 11, 22, 137, 274, 1507 and 3014 are the factors of 3014.
Note:
- 3014 is not the perfect square.
