To determine if 4611 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4611.
If the factors of 4611 are only 4611 and 1, then we know that 4611 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4611 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4611 is only divisible by 1 and 4611, then it is a prime number, and if 4611 is divisible by more than 4611 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4611 are as follows:
1, 3, 29, 53, 87, 159, 1537, 4611
Therefore, since 4611 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4611 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
