To determine if 3692 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3692.
If the factors of 3692 are only 3692 and 1, then we know that 3692 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3692 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3692 is only divisible by 1 and 3692, then it is a prime number, and if 3692 is divisible by more than 3692 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3692 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52, 71, 142, 284, 923, 1846, 3692
Therefore, since 3692 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
