To determine if 3368 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3368.
If the factors of 3368 are only 3368 and 1, then we know that 3368 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3368 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3368 is only divisible by 1 and 3368, then it is a prime number, and if 3368 is divisible by more than 3368 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3368 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 421, 842, 1684, 3368
