To determine if 4252 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4252.
If the factors of 4252 are only 4252 and 1, then we know that 4252 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4252 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4252 is only divisible by 1 and 4252, then it is a prime number, and if 4252 is divisible by more than 4252 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4252 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 1063, 2126, 4252
Therefore, since 4252 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4252 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
