To determine if 4265 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4265.
If the factors of 4265 are only 4265 and 1, then we know that 4265 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4265 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4265 is only divisible by 1 and 4265, then it is a prime number, and if 4265 is divisible by more than 4265 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4265 are as follows:
