To determine if 4250 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4250.
If the factors of 4250 are only 4250 and 1, then we know that 4250 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4250 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4250 is only divisible by 1 and 4250, then it is a prime number, and if 4250 is divisible by more than 4250 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4250 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 25, 34, 50, 85, 125, 170, 250, 425, 850, 2125, 4250
Therefore, since 4250 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4250 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4251 prime or composite?
