To determine if 3289 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3289.
If the factors of 3289 are only 3289 and 1, then we know that 3289 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3289 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3289 is only divisible by 1 and 3289, then it is a prime number, and if 3289 is divisible by more than 3289 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3289 are as follows:
1, 11, 13, 23, 143, 253, 299, 3289
