To determine if 4281 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4281.
If the factors of 4281 are only 4281 and 1, then we know that 4281 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4281 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4281 is only divisible by 1 and 4281, then it is a prime number, and if 4281 is divisible by more than 4281 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4281 are as follows:
1, 3, 1427, 4281
Therefore, since 4281 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4281 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
