To determine if 4226 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4226.
If the factors of 4226 are only 4226 and 1, then we know that 4226 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4226 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4226 is only divisible by 1 and 4226, then it is a prime number, and if 4226 is divisible by more than 4226 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4226 are as follows:
