To determine if 4338 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4338.
If the factors of 4338 are only 4338 and 1, then we know that 4338 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4338 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4338 is only divisible by 1 and 4338, then it is a prime number, and if 4338 is divisible by more than 4338 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4338 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 241, 482, 723, 1446, 2169, 4338
Therefore, since 4338 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
