To determine if 4806 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4806.
If the factors of 4806 are only 4806 and 1, then we know that 4806 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4806 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4806 is only divisible by 1 and 4806, then it is a prime number, and if 4806 is divisible by more than 4806 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4806 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 89, 178, 267, 534, 801, 1602, 2403, 4806
Therefore, since 4806 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4806 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4807 prime or composite?
