To determine if 3656 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3656.
If the factors of 3656 are only 3656 and 1, then we know that 3656 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3656 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3656 is only divisible by 1 and 3656, then it is a prime number, and if 3656 is divisible by more than 3656 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3656 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 457, 914, 1828, 3656
Therefore, since 3656 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
