To determine if 3282 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3282.
If the factors of 3282 are only 3282 and 1, then we know that 3282 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3282 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3282 is only divisible by 1 and 3282, then it is a prime number, and if 3282 is divisible by more than 3282 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3282 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 547, 1094, 1641, 3282
