To determine if 4425 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4425.
If the factors of 4425 are only 4425 and 1, then we know that 4425 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4425 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4425 is only divisible by 1 and 4425, then it is a prime number, and if 4425 is divisible by more than 4425 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4425 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 25, 59, 75, 177, 295, 885, 1475, 4425
Therefore, since 4425 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4425 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
