To determine if 3674 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3674.
If the factors of 3674 are only 3674 and 1, then we know that 3674 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3674 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3674 is only divisible by 1 and 3674, then it is a prime number, and if 3674 is divisible by more than 3674 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3674 are as follows:
1, 2, 11, 22, 167, 334, 1837, 3674
