To determine if 3562 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3562.
If the factors of 3562 are only 3562 and 1, then we know that 3562 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3562 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3562 is only divisible by 1 and 3562, then it is a prime number, and if 3562 is divisible by more than 3562 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3562 are as follows:
1, 2, 13, 26, 137, 274, 1781, 3562
Therefore, since 3562 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
