To determine if 3374 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3374.
If the factors of 3374 are only 3374 and 1, then we know that 3374 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3374 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3374 is only divisible by 1 and 3374, then it is a prime number, and if 3374 is divisible by more than 3374 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3374 are as follows:
