To determine if 3703 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3703.
If the factors of 3703 are only 3703 and 1, then we know that 3703 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3703 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3703 is only divisible by 1 and 3703, then it is a prime number, and if 3703 is divisible by more than 3703 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3703 are as follows:
1, 7, 23, 161, 529, 3703
Therefore, since 3703 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
