To determine if 4728 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4728.
If the factors of 4728 are only 4728 and 1, then we know that 4728 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4728 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4728 is only divisible by 1 and 4728, then it is a prime number, and if 4728 is divisible by more than 4728 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4728 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 197, 394, 591, 788, 1182, 1576, 2364, 4728
Therefore, since 4728 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4728 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
