To determine if 4430 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4430.
If the factors of 4430 are only 4430 and 1, then we know that 4430 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4430 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4430 is only divisible by 1 and 4430, then it is a prime number, and if 4430 is divisible by more than 4430 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4430 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 443, 886, 2215, 4430
Therefore, since 4430 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
