To determine if 4902 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4902.
If the factors of 4902 are only 4902 and 1, then we know that 4902 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4902 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4902 is only divisible by 1 and 4902, then it is a prime number, and if 4902 is divisible by more than 4902 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4902 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 19, 38, 43, 57, 86, 114, 129, 258, 817, 1634, 2451, 4902
Therefore, since 4902 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4902 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
