To determine if 4276 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4276.
If the factors of 4276 are only 4276 and 1, then we know that 4276 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4276 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4276 is only divisible by 1 and 4276, then it is a prime number, and if 4276 is divisible by more than 4276 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4276 are as follows:
