To determine if 4223 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4223.
If the factors of 4223 are only 4223 and 1, then we know that 4223 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4223 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4223 is only divisible by 1 and 4223, then it is a prime number, and if 4223 is divisible by more than 4223 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4223 are as follows:
1, 41, 103, 4223
Therefore, since 4223 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4223 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
