To determine if 4222 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4222.
If the factors of 4222 are only 4222 and 1, then we know that 4222 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4222 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4222 is only divisible by 1 and 4222, then it is a prime number, and if 4222 is divisible by more than 4222 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4222 are as follows:
