To determine if 4840 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4840.
If the factors of 4840 are only 4840 and 1, then we know that 4840 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4840 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4840 is only divisible by 1 and 4840, then it is a prime number, and if 4840 is divisible by more than 4840 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4840 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 20, 22, 40, 44, 55, 88, 110, 121, 220, 242, 440, 484, 605, 968, 1210, 2420, 4840
Therefore, since 4840 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4840 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4841 prime or composite?
