To determine if 3658 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3658.
If the factors of 3658 are only 3658 and 1, then we know that 3658 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3658 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3658 is only divisible by 1 and 3658, then it is a prime number, and if 3658 is divisible by more than 3658 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3658 are as follows:
1, 2, 31, 59, 62, 118, 1829, 3658
