To determine if 4350 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4350.
If the factors of 4350 are only 4350 and 1, then we know that 4350 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4350 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4350 is only divisible by 1 and 4350, then it is a prime number, and if 4350 is divisible by more than 4350 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4350 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 25, 29, 30, 50, 58, 75, 87, 145, 150, 174, 290, 435, 725, 870, 1450, 2175, 4350
Therefore, since 4350 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4350 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
