To determine if 4340 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4340.
If the factors of 4340 are only 4340 and 1, then we know that 4340 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4340 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4340 is only divisible by 1 and 4340, then it is a prime number, and if 4340 is divisible by more than 4340 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4340 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 31, 35, 62, 70, 124, 140, 155, 217, 310, 434, 620, 868, 1085, 2170, 4340
Therefore, since 4340 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4340 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
