To determine if 4608 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4608.
If the factors of 4608 are only 4608 and 1, then we know that 4608 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4608 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4608 is only divisible by 1 and 4608, then it is a prime number, and if 4608 is divisible by more than 4608 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4608 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 32, 36, 48, 64, 72, 96, 128, 144, 192, 256, 288, 384, 512, 576, 768, 1152, 1536, 2304, 4608
Therefore, since 4608 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4608 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
