To determine if 3414 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3414.
If the factors of 3414 are only 3414 and 1, then we know that 3414 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3414 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3414 is only divisible by 1 and 3414, then it is a prime number, and if 3414 is divisible by more than 3414 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3414 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 569, 1138, 1707, 3414
Therefore, since 3414 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
