To determine if 4803 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4803.
If the factors of 4803 are only 4803 and 1, then we know that 4803 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4803 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4803 is only divisible by 1 and 4803, then it is a prime number, and if 4803 is divisible by more than 4803 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4803 are as follows:
