To determine if 4428 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4428.
If the factors of 4428 are only 4428 and 1, then we know that 4428 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4428 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4428 is only divisible by 1 and 4428, then it is a prime number, and if 4428 is divisible by more than 4428 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4428 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 41, 54, 82, 108, 123, 164, 246, 369, 492, 738, 1107, 1476, 2214, 4428
Therefore, since 4428 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4428 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
