To determine if 3382 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3382.
If the factors of 3382 are only 3382 and 1, then we know that 3382 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3382 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3382 is only divisible by 1 and 3382, then it is a prime number, and if 3382 is divisible by more than 3382 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3382 are as follows:
1, 2, 19, 38, 89, 178, 1691, 3382
