To determine if 3454 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3454.
If the factors of 3454 are only 3454 and 1, then we know that 3454 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3454 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3454 is only divisible by 1 and 3454, then it is a prime number, and if 3454 is divisible by more than 3454 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3454 are as follows:
1, 2, 11, 22, 157, 314, 1727, 3454
