To determine if 4232 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4232.
If the factors of 4232 are only 4232 and 1, then we know that 4232 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4232 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4232 is only divisible by 1 and 4232, then it is a prime number, and if 4232 is divisible by more than 4232 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4232 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 23, 46, 92, 184, 529, 1058, 2116, 4232
Therefore, since 4232 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4232 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4233 prime or composite?
