To determine if 4270 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4270.
If the factors of 4270 are only 4270 and 1, then we know that 4270 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4270 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4270 is only divisible by 1 and 4270, then it is a prime number, and if 4270 is divisible by more than 4270 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4270 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35, 61, 70, 122, 305, 427, 610, 854, 2135, 4270
Therefore, since 4270 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4270 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4271 prime or composite?
