To determine if 3207 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3207.
If the factors of 3207 are only 3207 and 1, then we know that 3207 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3207 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3207 is only divisible by 1 and 3207, then it is a prime number, and if 3207 is divisible by more than 3207 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3207 are as follows:
