To determine if 4301 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4301.
If the factors of 4301 are only 4301 and 1, then we know that 4301 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4301 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4301 is only divisible by 1 and 4301, then it is a prime number, and if 4301 is divisible by more than 4301 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4301 are as follows:
1, 11, 17, 23, 187, 253, 391, 4301
Therefore, since 4301 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4301 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4302 prime or composite?
