To determine if 4796 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4796.
If the factors of 4796 are only 4796 and 1, then we know that 4796 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4796 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4796 is only divisible by 1 and 4796, then it is a prime number, and if 4796 is divisible by more than 4796 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4796 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44, 109, 218, 436, 1199, 2398, 4796
Therefore, since 4796 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4796 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
