To determine if 4444 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4444.
If the factors of 4444 are only 4444 and 1, then we know that 4444 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4444 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4444 is only divisible by 1 and 4444, then it is a prime number, and if 4444 is divisible by more than 4444 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4444 are as follows:
