To determine if 4263 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4263.
If the factors of 4263 are only 4263 and 1, then we know that 4263 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4263 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4263 is only divisible by 1 and 4263, then it is a prime number, and if 4263 is divisible by more than 4263 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4263 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 21, 29, 49, 87, 147, 203, 609, 1421, 4263
Therefore, since 4263 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4263 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
