To determine if 4801 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4801.
If the factors of 4801 are only 4801 and 1, then we know that 4801 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4801 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4801 is only divisible by 1 and 4801, then it is a prime number, and if 4801 is divisible by more than 4801 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4801 are as follows:
