To determine if 4331 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4331.
If the factors of 4331 are only 4331 and 1, then we know that 4331 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4331 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4331 is only divisible by 1 and 4331, then it is a prime number, and if 4331 is divisible by more than 4331 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4331 are as follows:
1, 61, 71, 4331
Therefore, since 4331 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4331 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4332 prime or composite?
