To determine if 4300 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4300.
If the factors of 4300 are only 4300 and 1, then we know that 4300 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4300 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4300 is only divisible by 1 and 4300, then it is a prime number, and if 4300 is divisible by more than 4300 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4300 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 43, 50, 86, 100, 172, 215, 430, 860, 1075, 2150, 4300
Therefore, since 4300 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4300 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4301 prime or composite?
