To determine if 484 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 484.
If the factors of 484 are only 484 and 1, then we know that 484 is a prime number. Otherwise, 484 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 484 is only divisible by 1 and 484, then it is a prime number, and if 484 is divisible by more than 484 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 484 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44, 121, 242, 484
Therefore, since 484 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 484 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
