To determine if 4876 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4876.
If the factors of 4876 are only 4876 and 1, then we know that 4876 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4876 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4876 is only divisible by 1 and 4876, then it is a prime number, and if 4876 is divisible by more than 4876 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4876 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 23, 46, 53, 92, 106, 212, 1219, 2438, 4876
Therefore, since 4876 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4876 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
