To determine if 3706 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3706.
If the factors of 3706 are only 3706 and 1, then we know that 3706 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3706 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3706 is only divisible by 1 and 3706, then it is a prime number, and if 3706 is divisible by more than 3706 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3706 are as follows:
1, 2, 17, 34, 109, 218, 1853, 3706
