To determine if 4820 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4820.
If the factors of 4820 are only 4820 and 1, then we know that 4820 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4820 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4820 is only divisible by 1 and 4820, then it is a prime number, and if 4820 is divisible by more than 4820 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4820 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 241, 482, 964, 1205, 2410, 4820
Therefore, since 4820 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4820 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4821 prime or composite?
