To determine if 3713 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3713.
If the factors of 3713 are only 3713 and 1, then we know that 3713 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3713 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3713 is only divisible by 1 and 3713, then it is a prime number, and if 3713 is divisible by more than 3713 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3713 are as follows:
