To determine if 4436 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4436.
If the factors of 4436 are only 4436 and 1, then we know that 4436 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4436 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4436 is only divisible by 1 and 4436, then it is a prime number, and if 4436 is divisible by more than 4436 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4436 are as follows:
