To determine if 4460 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4460.
If the factors of 4460 are only 4460 and 1, then we know that 4460 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4460 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4460 is only divisible by 1 and 4460, then it is a prime number, and if 4460 is divisible by more than 4460 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4460 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 223, 446, 892, 1115, 2230, 4460
Therefore, since 4460 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4460 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
