To determine if 4804 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4804.
If the factors of 4804 are only 4804 and 1, then we know that 4804 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4804 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4804 is only divisible by 1 and 4804, then it is a prime number, and if 4804 is divisible by more than 4804 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4804 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 1201, 2402, 4804
Therefore, since 4804 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
