To determine if 4210 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4210.
If the factors of 4210 are only 4210 and 1, then we know that 4210 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4210 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4210 is only divisible by 1 and 4210, then it is a prime number, and if 4210 is divisible by more than 4210 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4210 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 421, 842, 2105, 4210
Therefore, since 4210 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4210 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
