To determine if 4318 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4318.
If the factors of 4318 are only 4318 and 1, then we know that 4318 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4318 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4318 is only divisible by 1 and 4318, then it is a prime number, and if 4318 is divisible by more than 4318 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4318 are as follows:
1, 2, 17, 34, 127, 254, 2159, 4318
