To determine if 4752 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4752.
If the factors of 4752 are only 4752 and 1, then we know that 4752 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4752 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4752 is only divisible by 1 and 4752, then it is a prime number, and if 4752 is divisible by more than 4752 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4752 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 16, 18, 22, 24, 27, 33, 36, 44, 48, 54, 66, 72, 88, 99, 108, 132, 144, 176, 198, 216, 264, 297, 396, 432, 528, 594, 792, 1188, 1584, 2376, 4752
Therefore, since 4752 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4752 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
