To determine if 4446 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4446.
If the factors of 4446 are only 4446 and 1, then we know that 4446 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4446 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4446 is only divisible by 1 and 4446, then it is a prime number, and if 4446 is divisible by more than 4446 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4446 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 13, 18, 19, 26, 38, 39, 57, 78, 114, 117, 171, 234, 247, 342, 494, 741, 1482, 2223, 4446
Therefore, since 4446 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4446 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
