To determine if 3283 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3283.
If the factors of 3283 are only 3283 and 1, then we know that 3283 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3283 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3283 is only divisible by 1 and 3283, then it is a prime number, and if 3283 is divisible by more than 3283 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3283 are as follows:
1, 7, 49, 67, 469, 3283
