To determine if 4648 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4648.
If the factors of 4648 are only 4648 and 1, then we know that 4648 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4648 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4648 is only divisible by 1 and 4648, then it is a prime number, and if 4648 is divisible by more than 4648 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4648 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56, 83, 166, 332, 581, 664, 1162, 2324, 4648
Therefore, since 4648 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4648 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
