To determine if 4435 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4435.
If the factors of 4435 are only 4435 and 1, then we know that 4435 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4435 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4435 is only divisible by 1 and 4435, then it is a prime number, and if 4435 is divisible by more than 4435 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4435 are as follows:
