To determine if 3274 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3274.
If the factors of 3274 are only 3274 and 1, then we know that 3274 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3274 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3274 is only divisible by 1 and 3274, then it is a prime number, and if 3274 is divisible by more than 3274 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3274 are as follows:
