To determine if 4296 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4296.
If the factors of 4296 are only 4296 and 1, then we know that 4296 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4296 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4296 is only divisible by 1 and 4296, then it is a prime number, and if 4296 is divisible by more than 4296 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4296 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 179, 358, 537, 716, 1074, 1432, 2148, 4296
Therefore, since 4296 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4296 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
