To determine if 3445 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3445.
If the factors of 3445 are only 3445 and 1, then we know that 3445 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3445 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3445 is only divisible by 1 and 3445, then it is a prime number, and if 3445 is divisible by more than 3445 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3445 are as follows:
1, 5, 13, 53, 65, 265, 689, 3445
