To determine if 4802 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4802.
If the factors of 4802 are only 4802 and 1, then we know that 4802 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4802 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4802 is only divisible by 1 and 4802, then it is a prime number, and if 4802 is divisible by more than 4802 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4802 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 49, 98, 343, 686, 2401, 4802
Therefore, since 4802 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4802 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
