To determine if 4788 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4788.
If the factors of 4788 are only 4788 and 1, then we know that 4788 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4788 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4788 is only divisible by 1 and 4788, then it is a prime number, and if 4788 is divisible by more than 4788 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4788 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 19, 21, 28, 36, 38, 42, 57, 63, 76, 84, 114, 126, 133, 171, 228, 252, 266, 342, 399, 532, 684, 798, 1197, 1596, 2394, 4788
Therefore, since 4788 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4788 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
