To determine if 4875 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4875.
If the factors of 4875 are only 4875 and 1, then we know that 4875 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4875 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4875 is only divisible by 1 and 4875, then it is a prime number, and if 4875 is divisible by more than 4875 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4875 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 13, 15, 25, 39, 65, 75, 125, 195, 325, 375, 975, 1625, 4875
Therefore, since 4875 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4875 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4876 prime or composite?
