To determine if 4308 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4308.
If the factors of 4308 are only 4308 and 1, then we know that 4308 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4308 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4308 is only divisible by 1 and 4308, then it is a prime number, and if 4308 is divisible by more than 4308 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4308 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 359, 718, 1077, 1436, 2154, 4308
Therefore, since 4308 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4308 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
