To determine if 4610 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4610.
If the factors of 4610 are only 4610 and 1, then we know that 4610 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4610 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4610 is only divisible by 1 and 4610, then it is a prime number, and if 4610 is divisible by more than 4610 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4610 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 461, 922, 2305, 4610
Therefore, since 4610 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4610 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
