To determine if 4341 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4341.
If the factors of 4341 are only 4341 and 1, then we know that 4341 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4341 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4341 is only divisible by 1 and 4341, then it is a prime number, and if 4341 is divisible by more than 4341 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4341 are as follows:
