To determine if 4661 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4661.
If the factors of 4661 are only 4661 and 1, then we know that 4661 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4661 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4661 is only divisible by 1 and 4661, then it is a prime number, and if 4661 is divisible by more than 4661 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4661 are as follows:
1, 59, 79, 4661
Therefore, since 4661 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4661 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
