To determine if 4812 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4812.
If the factors of 4812 are only 4812 and 1, then we know that 4812 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4812 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4812 is only divisible by 1 and 4812, then it is a prime number, and if 4812 is divisible by more than 4812 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4812 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 401, 802, 1203, 1604, 2406, 4812
Therefore, since 4812 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4812 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
