To determine if 4698 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4698.
If the factors of 4698 are only 4698 and 1, then we know that 4698 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4698 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4698 is only divisible by 1 and 4698, then it is a prime number, and if 4698 is divisible by more than 4698 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4698 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 29, 54, 58, 81, 87, 162, 174, 261, 522, 783, 1566, 2349, 4698
Therefore, since 4698 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4698 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
