To determine if 3346 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3346.
If the factors of 3346 are only 3346 and 1, then we know that 3346 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3346 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3346 is only divisible by 1 and 3346, then it is a prime number, and if 3346 is divisible by more than 3346 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3346 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 239, 478, 1673, 3346
