To determine if 3308 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3308.
If the factors of 3308 are only 3308 and 1, then we know that 3308 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3308 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3308 is only divisible by 1 and 3308, then it is a prime number, and if 3308 is divisible by more than 3308 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3308 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 827, 1654, 3308
Therefore, since 3308 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
