To determine if 3532 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3532.
If the factors of 3532 are only 3532 and 1, then we know that 3532 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3532 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3532 is only divisible by 1 and 3532, then it is a prime number, and if 3532 is divisible by more than 3532 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3532 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 883, 1766, 3532
Therefore, since 3532 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
