To determine if 4234 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4234.
If the factors of 4234 are only 4234 and 1, then we know that 4234 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4234 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4234 is only divisible by 1 and 4234, then it is a prime number, and if 4234 is divisible by more than 4234 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4234 are as follows:
1, 2, 29, 58, 73, 146, 2117, 4234
Therefore, since 4234 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
