To determine if 4502 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4502.
If the factors of 4502 are only 4502 and 1, then we know that 4502 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4502 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4502 is only divisible by 1 and 4502, then it is a prime number, and if 4502 is divisible by more than 4502 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4502 are as follows:
1, 2, 2251, 4502
Therefore, since 4502 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4502 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
