To determine if 4158 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4158.
If the factors of 4158 are only 4158 and 1, then we know that 4158 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4158 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4158 is only divisible by 1 and 4158, then it is a prime number, and if 4158 is divisible by more than 4158 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4158 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 11, 14, 18, 21, 22, 27, 33, 42, 54, 63, 66, 77, 99, 126, 154, 189, 198, 231, 297, 378, 462, 594, 693, 1386, 2079, 4158
Therefore, since 4158 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4158 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
