To determine if 4134 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4134.
If the factors of 4134 are only 4134 and 1, then we know that 4134 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4134 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4134 is only divisible by 1 and 4134, then it is a prime number, and if 4134 is divisible by more than 4134 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4134 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 39, 53, 78, 106, 159, 318, 689, 1378, 2067, 4134
Therefore, since 4134 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4134 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4135 prime or composite?
