To determine if 4836 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4836.
If the factors of 4836 are only 4836 and 1, then we know that 4836 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4836 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4836 is only divisible by 1 and 4836, then it is a prime number, and if 4836 is divisible by more than 4836 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4836 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 31, 39, 52, 62, 78, 93, 124, 156, 186, 372, 403, 806, 1209, 1612, 2418, 4836
Therefore, since 4836 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4836 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
