To determine if 4662 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4662.
If the factors of 4662 are only 4662 and 1, then we know that 4662 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4662 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4662 is only divisible by 1 and 4662, then it is a prime number, and if 4662 is divisible by more than 4662 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4662 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 37, 42, 63, 74, 111, 126, 222, 259, 333, 518, 666, 777, 1554, 2331, 4662
Therefore, since 4662 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4662 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
