To determine if 3736 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3736.
If the factors of 3736 are only 3736 and 1, then we know that 3736 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3736 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3736 is only divisible by 1 and 3736, then it is a prime number, and if 3736 is divisible by more than 3736 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3736 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 467, 934, 1868, 3736
Therefore, since 3736 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
