To determine if 4644 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4644.
If the factors of 4644 are only 4644 and 1, then we know that 4644 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4644 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4644 is only divisible by 1 and 4644, then it is a prime number, and if 4644 is divisible by more than 4644 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4644 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 43, 54, 86, 108, 129, 172, 258, 387, 516, 774, 1161, 1548, 2322, 4644
Therefore, since 4644 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4644 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
