To determine if 3475 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3475.
If the factors of 3475 are only 3475 and 1, then we know that 3475 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3475 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3475 is only divisible by 1 and 3475, then it is a prime number, and if 3475 is divisible by more than 3475 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3475 are as follows:
1, 5, 25, 139, 695, 3475
Therefore, since 3475 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
