To determine if 4681 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4681.
If the factors of 4681 are only 4681 and 1, then we know that 4681 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4681 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4681 is only divisible by 1 and 4681, then it is a prime number, and if 4681 is divisible by more than 4681 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4681 are as follows:
1, 31, 151, 4681
Therefore, since 4681 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4681 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
