To determine if 4866 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4866.
If the factors of 4866 are only 4866 and 1, then we know that 4866 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4866 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4866 is only divisible by 1 and 4866, then it is a prime number, and if 4866 is divisible by more than 4866 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4866 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 811, 1622, 2433, 4866
Therefore, since 4866 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
