Factors of 3052:
- If we have taken numbers from 1, 2, 3…for checking factors of 3052, we found that 3052 has factors 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 109, 218, 436, 763, 1526 and 3052. Hence, we must say that 3052 is a composite number.
- Thus, 3052 is the composite number.
- If we multiply 3052 by 1, 2, 3 then we get the multiples of 3052 which are 3052, 6104 and so on.
About the number 3052:
- 3052 has more than two factors which are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 109, 218, 436, 763, 1526 and 3052 and hence it is the composite number.
- 3052 is the even composite number and it is not the perfect square also.
- If we divide 3052 by, 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 109, 218, 436, 763, 1526 and 3052 then we get remainder as zero. Hence, 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 109, 218, 436, 763, 1526 and 3052 are the factors of 3052.
Note:
- 3052 is not the perfect square.
- Factors of 3052: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 109, 218, 436, 763, 1526 and 3052
- Prime factors of 3052: 2, 7, 109
Conclusion:
- 3052 is the composite number which has factors, 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 109, 218, 436, 763, 1526 and 3052
- And hence, 3052 is not the prime number.
