To determine if 4264 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4264.
If the factors of 4264 are only 4264 and 1, then we know that 4264 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4264 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4264 is only divisible by 1 and 4264, then it is a prime number, and if 4264 is divisible by more than 4264 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4264 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 26, 41, 52, 82, 104, 164, 328, 533, 1066, 2132, 4264
Therefore, since 4264 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4264 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4265 prime or composite?
