To determine if 4213 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4213.
If the factors of 4213 are only 4213 and 1, then we know that 4213 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4213 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4213 is only divisible by 1 and 4213, then it is a prime number, and if 4213 is divisible by more than 4213 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4213 are as follows:
