To determine if 4485 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4485.
If the factors of 4485 are only 4485 and 1, then we know that 4485 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4485 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4485 is only divisible by 1 and 4485, then it is a prime number, and if 4485 is divisible by more than 4485 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4485 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 13, 15, 23, 39, 65, 69, 115, 195, 299, 345, 897, 1495, 4485
Therefore, since 4485 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4485 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
