To determine if 4896 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4896.
If the factors of 4896 are only 4896 and 1, then we know that 4896 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4896 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4896 is only divisible by 1 and 4896, then it is a prime number, and if 4896 is divisible by more than 4896 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4896 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 17, 18, 24, 32, 34, 36, 48, 51, 68, 72, 96, 102, 136, 144, 153, 204, 272, 288, 306, 408, 544, 612, 816, 1224, 1632, 2448, 4896
Therefore, since 4896 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4896 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
