To determine if 4288 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4288.
If the factors of 4288 are only 4288 and 1, then we know that 4288 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4288 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4288 is only divisible by 1 and 4288, then it is a prime number, and if 4288 is divisible by more than 4288 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4288 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 67, 134, 268, 536, 1072, 2144, 4288
