To determine if 3602 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3602.
If the factors of 3602 are only 3602 and 1, then we know that 3602 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3602 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3602 is only divisible by 1 and 3602, then it is a prime number, and if 3602 is divisible by more than 3602 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3602 are as follows:
1, 2, 1801, 3602
Therefore, since 3602 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3602 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
