To determine if 4228 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4228.
If the factors of 4228 are only 4228 and 1, then we know that 4228 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4228 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4228 is only divisible by 1 and 4228, then it is a prime number, and if 4228 is divisible by more than 4228 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4228 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 151, 302, 604, 1057, 2114, 4228
Therefore, since 4228 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4228 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
