To determine if 4868 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4868.
If the factors of 4868 are only 4868 and 1, then we know that 4868 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4868 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4868 is only divisible by 1 and 4868, then it is a prime number, and if 4868 is divisible by more than 4868 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4868 are as follows:
