To determine if 4818 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4818.
If the factors of 4818 are only 4818 and 1, then we know that 4818 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4818 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4818 is only divisible by 1 and 4818, then it is a prime number, and if 4818 is divisible by more than 4818 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4818 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 66, 73, 146, 219, 438, 803, 1606, 2409, 4818
Therefore, since 4818 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4818 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
