To determine if 4316 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4316.
If the factors of 4316 are only 4316 and 1, then we know that 4316 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4316 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4316 is only divisible by 1 and 4316, then it is a prime number, and if 4316 is divisible by more than 4316 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4316 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52, 83, 166, 332, 1079, 2158, 4316
Therefore, since 4316 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4316 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4317 prime or composite?
