To determine if 3356 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3356.
If the factors of 3356 are only 3356 and 1, then we know that 3356 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3356 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3356 is only divisible by 1 and 3356, then it is a prime number, and if 3356 is divisible by more than 3356 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3356 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 839, 1678, 3356
