To determine if 3244 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3244.
If the factors of 3244 are only 3244 and 1, then we know that 3244 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3244 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3244 is only divisible by 1 and 3244, then it is a prime number, and if 3244 is divisible by more than 3244 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3244 are as follows:
