To determine if 4437 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4437.
If the factors of 4437 are only 4437 and 1, then we know that 4437 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4437 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4437 is only divisible by 1 and 4437, then it is a prime number, and if 4437 is divisible by more than 4437 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4437 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 17, 29, 51, 87, 153, 261, 493, 1479, 4437
