To determine if 3757 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3757.
If the factors of 3757 are only 3757 and 1, then we know that 3757 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3757 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3757 is only divisible by 1 and 3757, then it is a prime number, and if 3757 is divisible by more than 3757 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3757 are as follows:
