To determine if 4668 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4668.
If the factors of 4668 are only 4668 and 1, then we know that 4668 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4668 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4668 is only divisible by 1 and 4668, then it is a prime number, and if 4668 is divisible by more than 4668 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4668 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 389, 778, 1167, 1556, 2334, 4668
Therefore, since 4668 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4668 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
