To determine if 4058 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4058.
If the factors of 4058 are only 4058 and 1, then we know that 4058 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4058 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4058 is only divisible by 1 and 4058, then it is a prime number, and if 4058 is divisible by more than 4058 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4058 are as follows:
