To determine if 3358 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3358.
If the factors of 3358 are only 3358 and 1, then we know that 3358 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3358 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3358 is only divisible by 1 and 3358, then it is a prime number, and if 3358 is divisible by more than 3358 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3358 are as follows:
1, 2, 23, 46, 73, 146, 1679, 3358
