To determine if 3866 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3866.
If the factors of 3866 are only 3866 and 1, then we know that 3866 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3866 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3866 is only divisible by 1 and 3866, then it is a prime number, and if 3866 is divisible by more than 3866 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3866 are as follows:
