To determine if 4118 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4118.
If the factors of 4118 are only 4118 and 1, then we know that 4118 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4118 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4118 is only divisible by 1 and 4118, then it is a prime number, and if 4118 is divisible by more than 4118 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4118 are as follows:
1, 2, 29, 58, 71, 142, 2059, 4118
