To determine if 4225 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4225.
If the factors of 4225 are only 4225 and 1, then we know that 4225 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4225 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4225 is only divisible by 1 and 4225, then it is a prime number, and if 4225 is divisible by more than 4225 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4225 are as follows:
1, 5, 13, 25, 65, 169, 325, 845, 4225
Therefore, since 4225 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4225 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
