Factors of 3050:
- If we have taken numbers from 1, 2, 3…for checking factors of 3050, we found that 3050 has factors 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 61, 122, 305, 610, 1525 and 3050. Hence, we must say that 3050 is a composite number.
- Thus, 3050 is the composite number.
- If we multiply 3050 by 1, 2, 3 then we get the multiples of 3050 which are 3050, 6100 and so on.
About the number 3050:
- 3050 has more than two factors which are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 61, 122, 305, 610, 1525 and 3050 and hence it is the composite number.
- 3050 is the even composite number and it is not the perfect square also.
- If we divide 3050 by, 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 61, 122, 305, 610, 1525 and 3050 then we get remainder as zero. Hence, 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 61, 122, 305, 610, 1525 and 3050 are the factors of 3050.
Note:
- 3050 is not the perfect square.
- Factors of 3050: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 61, 122, 305, 610, 1525 and 3050
- Prime factors of 3050: 2, 5, 61
Conclusion:
- 3050 is the composite number which has factors, 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 61, 122, 305, 610, 1525 and 3050
- And hence, 3050 is not the prime number.
