To determine if 4292 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4292.
If the factors of 4292 are only 4292 and 1, then we know that 4292 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4292 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4292 is only divisible by 1 and 4292, then it is a prime number, and if 4292 is divisible by more than 4292 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4292 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 29, 37, 58, 74, 116, 148, 1073, 2146, 4292
