To determine if 4450 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4450.
If the factors of 4450 are only 4450 and 1, then we know that 4450 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4450 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4450 is only divisible by 1 and 4450, then it is a prime number, and if 4450 is divisible by more than 4450 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4450 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 89, 178, 445, 890, 2225, 4450
Therefore, since 4450 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4450 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
