To determine if 3824 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3824.
If the factors of 3824 are only 3824 and 1, then we know that 3824 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3824 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3824 is only divisible by 1 and 3824, then it is a prime number, and if 3824 is divisible by more than 3824 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3824 are as follows:
