To determine if 3464 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3464.
If the factors of 3464 are only 3464 and 1, then we know that 3464 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3464 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3464 is only divisible by 1 and 3464, then it is a prime number, and if 3464 is divisible by more than 3464 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3464 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 433, 866, 1732, 3464
Therefore, since 3464 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
