To determine if 4692 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4692.
If the factors of 4692 are only 4692 and 1, then we know that 4692 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4692 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4692 is only divisible by 1 and 4692, then it is a prime number, and if 4692 is divisible by more than 4692 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4692 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 17, 23, 34, 46, 51, 68, 69, 92, 102, 138, 204, 276, 391, 782, 1173, 1564, 2346, 4692
Therefore, since 4692 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4692 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
