To determine if 4864 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4864.
If the factors of 4864 are only 4864 and 1, then we know that 4864 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4864 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4864 is only divisible by 1 and 4864, then it is a prime number, and if 4864 is divisible by more than 4864 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4864 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 32, 38, 64, 76, 128, 152, 256, 304, 608, 1216, 2432, 4864
Therefore, since 4864 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4864 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4865 prime or composite?
