To determine if 4440 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4440.
If the factors of 4440 are only 4440 and 1, then we know that 4440 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4440 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4440 is only divisible by 1 and 4440, then it is a prime number, and if 4440 is divisible by more than 4440 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4440 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 37, 40, 60, 74, 111, 120, 148, 185, 222, 296, 370, 444, 555, 740, 888, 1110, 1480, 2220, 4440
Therefore, since 4440 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4440 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
