To determine if 4888 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4888.
If the factors of 4888 are only 4888 and 1, then we know that 4888 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4888 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4888 is only divisible by 1 and 4888, then it is a prime number, and if 4888 is divisible by more than 4888 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4888 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 26, 47, 52, 94, 104, 188, 376, 611, 1222, 2444, 4888
Therefore, since 4888 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4888 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
