Factors of 3310:
- If we have taken numbers from 1, 2, 3…for checking factors of 3310, we found that 3310 has factors 1, 2, 5, 10, 331, 662, 1655 and 3310. Hence, we must say that 3310 is a composite number.
- Thus, 3310 is the composite number.
- If we multiply 3310 by 1, 2, 3 then we get the multiples of 3310 which are 3310, 6620 and so on.
About the number 3310:
- 3310 has more than two factors which are 1, 2, 5, 10, 331, 662, 1655 and 3310 and hence it is the composite number.
- 3310 is the even composite number and it is not the perfect square also.
- If we divide 3310 by, 1, 2, 5, 10, 331, 662, 1655 and 3310 then we get remainder as zero. Hence, 1, 2, 5, 10, 331, 662, 1655 and 3310 are the factors of 3310.
Note:
- 3310 is not the perfect square.
- Factors of 3310: 1, 2, 5, 10, 331, 662, 1655 and 3310
