To determine if 4251 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4251.
If the factors of 4251 are only 4251 and 1, then we know that 4251 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4251 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4251 is only divisible by 1 and 4251, then it is a prime number, and if 4251 is divisible by more than 4251 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4251 are as follows:
1, 3, 13, 39, 109, 327, 1417, 4251
Therefore, since 4251 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4251 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
