To determine if 4626 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4626.
If the factors of 4626 are only 4626 and 1, then we know that 4626 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4626 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4626 is only divisible by 1 and 4626, then it is a prime number, and if 4626 is divisible by more than 4626 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4626 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 257, 514, 771, 1542, 2313, 4626
Therefore, since 4626 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4626 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
