To determine if 4776 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4776.
If the factors of 4776 are only 4776 and 1, then we know that 4776 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4776 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4776 is only divisible by 1 and 4776, then it is a prime number, and if 4776 is divisible by more than 4776 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4776 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 199, 398, 597, 796, 1194, 1592, 2388, 4776
Therefore, since 4776 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4776 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
