To determine if 4852 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4852.
If the factors of 4852 are only 4852 and 1, then we know that 4852 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4852 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4852 is only divisible by 1 and 4852, then it is a prime number, and if 4852 is divisible by more than 4852 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4852 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 1213, 2426, 4852
Therefore, since 4852 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4852 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
