To determine if 3484 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3484.
If the factors of 3484 are only 3484 and 1, then we know that 3484 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3484 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3484 is only divisible by 1 and 3484, then it is a prime number, and if 3484 is divisible by more than 3484 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3484 are as follows:
