To determine if 4156 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4156.
If the factors of 4156 are only 4156 and 1, then we know that 4156 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4156 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4156 is only divisible by 1 and 4156, then it is a prime number, and if 4156 is divisible by more than 4156 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4156 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 1039, 2078, 4156
Therefore, since 4156 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
