To determine if 4254 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4254.
If the factors of 4254 are only 4254 and 1, then we know that 4254 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4254 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4254 is only divisible by 1 and 4254, then it is a prime number, and if 4254 is divisible by more than 4254 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4254 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 709, 1418, 2127, 4254
Therefore, since 4254 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
