To determine if 4848 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4848.
If the factors of 4848 are only 4848 and 1, then we know that 4848 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4848 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4848 is only divisible by 1 and 4848, then it is a prime number, and if 4848 is divisible by more than 4848 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4848 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, 101, 202, 303, 404, 606, 808, 1212, 1616, 2424, 4848
Therefore, since 4848 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4848 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
