To determine if 3702 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3702.
If the factors of 3702 are only 3702 and 1, then we know that 3702 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3702 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3702 is only divisible by 1 and 3702, then it is a prime number, and if 3702 is divisible by more than 3702 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3702 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 617, 1234, 1851, 3702
Therefore, since 3702 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3702 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
