To determine if 3573 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3573.
If the factors of 3573 are only 3573 and 1, then we know that 3573 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3573 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3573 is only divisible by 1 and 3573, then it is a prime number, and if 3573 is divisible by more than 3573 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3573 are as follows:
