To determine if 4284 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4284.
If the factors of 4284 are only 4284 and 1, then we know that 4284 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4284 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4284 is only divisible by 1 and 4284, then it is a prime number, and if 4284 is divisible by more than 4284 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4284 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 17, 18, 21, 28, 34, 36, 42, 51, 63, 68, 84, 102, 119, 126, 153, 204, 238, 252, 306, 357, 476, 612, 714, 1071, 1428, 2142, 4284
Therefore, since 4284 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4284 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
