To determine if 4856 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4856.
If the factors of 4856 are only 4856 and 1, then we know that 4856 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4856 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4856 is only divisible by 1 and 4856, then it is a prime number, and if 4856 is divisible by more than 4856 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4856 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 607, 1214, 2428, 4856
