To determine if 3339 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3339.
If the factors of 3339 are only 3339 and 1, then we know that 3339 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3339 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3339 is only divisible by 1 and 3339, then it is a prime number, and if 3339 is divisible by more than 3339 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3339 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 53, 63, 159, 371, 477, 1113, 3339
