To determine if 3796 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3796.
If the factors of 3796 are only 3796 and 1, then we know that 3796 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3796 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3796 is only divisible by 1 and 3796, then it is a prime number, and if 3796 is divisible by more than 3796 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3796 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52, 73, 146, 292, 949, 1898, 3796
Therefore, since 3796 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
