To determine if 4482 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4482.
If the factors of 4482 are only 4482 and 1, then we know that 4482 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4482 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4482 is only divisible by 1 and 4482, then it is a prime number, and if 4482 is divisible by more than 4482 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4482 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 83, 166, 249, 498, 747, 1494, 2241, 4482
Therefore, since 4482 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4482 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
