To determine if 3722 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3722.
If the factors of 3722 are only 3722 and 1, then we know that 3722 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3722 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3722 is only divisible by 1 and 3722, then it is a prime number, and if 3722 is divisible by more than 3722 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3722 are as follows:
