To determine if 4214 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4214.
If the factors of 4214 are only 4214 and 1, then we know that 4214 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4214 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4214 is only divisible by 1 and 4214, then it is a prime number, and if 4214 is divisible by more than 4214 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4214 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 43, 49, 86, 98, 301, 602, 2107, 4214
Therefore, since 4214 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4214 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
