To determine if 3376 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3376.
If the factors of 3376 are only 3376 and 1, then we know that 3376 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3376 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3376 is only divisible by 1 and 3376, then it is a prime number, and if 3376 is divisible by more than 3376 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3376 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 211, 422, 844, 1688, 3376
