To determine if 4456 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4456.
If the factors of 4456 are only 4456 and 1, then we know that 4456 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4456 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4456 is only divisible by 1 and 4456, then it is a prime number, and if 4456 is divisible by more than 4456 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4456 are as follows:
