To determine if 3707 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3707.
If the factors of 3707 are only 3707 and 1, then we know that 3707 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3707 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3707 is only divisible by 1 and 3707, then it is a prime number, and if 3707 is divisible by more than 3707 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3707 are as follows:
