To determine if 3353 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3353.
If the factors of 3353 are only 3353 and 1, then we know that 3353 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3353 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3353 is only divisible by 1 and 3353, then it is a prime number, and if 3353 is divisible by more than 3353 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3353 are as follows:
