To determine if 4470 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4470.
If the factors of 4470 are only 4470 and 1, then we know that 4470 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4470 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4470 is only divisible by 1 and 4470, then it is a prime number, and if 4470 is divisible by more than 4470 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4470 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30, 149, 298, 447, 745, 894, 1490, 2235, 4470
Therefore, since 4470 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4470 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
