To determine if 3582 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3582.
If the factors of 3582 are only 3582 and 1, then we know that 3582 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3582 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3582 is only divisible by 1 and 3582, then it is a prime number, and if 3582 is divisible by more than 3582 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3582 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 199, 398, 597, 1194, 1791, 3582
