To determine if 4266 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4266.
If the factors of 4266 are only 4266 and 1, then we know that 4266 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4266 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4266 is only divisible by 1 and 4266, then it is a prime number, and if 4266 is divisible by more than 4266 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4266 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 79, 158, 237, 474, 711, 1422, 2133, 4266
Therefore, since 4266 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4266 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4267 prime or composite?
