To determine if 4311 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4311.
If the factors of 4311 are only 4311 and 1, then we know that 4311 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4311 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4311 is only divisible by 1 and 4311, then it is a prime number, and if 4311 is divisible by more than 4311 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4311 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 479, 1437, 4311
Therefore, since 4311 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4311 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4312 prime or composite?
