To determine if 4455 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4455.
If the factors of 4455 are only 4455 and 1, then we know that 4455 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4455 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4455 is only divisible by 1 and 4455, then it is a prime number, and if 4455 is divisible by more than 4455 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4455 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 15, 27, 33, 45, 55, 81, 99, 135, 165, 297, 405, 495, 891, 1485, 4455
Therefore, since 4455 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4455 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
