To determine if 3764 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3764.
If the factors of 3764 are only 3764 and 1, then we know that 3764 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3764 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3764 is only divisible by 1 and 3764, then it is a prime number, and if 3764 is divisible by more than 3764 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3764 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 941, 1882, 3764
Therefore, since 3764 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
