To determine if 4452 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4452.
If the factors of 4452 are only 4452 and 1, then we know that 4452 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4452 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4452 is only divisible by 1 and 4452, then it is a prime number, and if 4452 is divisible by more than 4452 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4452 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 53, 84, 106, 159, 212, 318, 371, 636, 742, 1113, 1484, 2226, 4452
Therefore, since 4452 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4452 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
