To determine if 3704 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3704.
If the factors of 3704 are only 3704 and 1, then we know that 3704 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3704 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3704 is only divisible by 1 and 3704, then it is a prime number, and if 3704 is divisible by more than 3704 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3704 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 463, 926, 1852, 3704
