To determine if 4660 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4660.
If the factors of 4660 are only 4660 and 1, then we know that 4660 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4660 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4660 is only divisible by 1 and 4660, then it is a prime number, and if 4660 is divisible by more than 4660 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4660 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 233, 466, 932, 1165, 2330, 4660
Therefore, since 4660 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4660 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4661 prime or composite?
