To determine if 3272 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3272.
If the factors of 3272 are only 3272 and 1, then we know that 3272 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3272 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3272 is only divisible by 1 and 3272, then it is a prime number, and if 3272 is divisible by more than 3272 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3272 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 409, 818, 1636, 3272
