To determine if 3619 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3619.
If the factors of 3619 are only 3619 and 1, then we know that 3619 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3619 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3619 is only divisible by 1 and 3619, then it is a prime number, and if 3619 is divisible by more than 3619 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3619 are as follows:
