To determine if 4908 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4908.
If the factors of 4908 are only 4908 and 1, then we know that 4908 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4908 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4908 is only divisible by 1 and 4908, then it is a prime number, and if 4908 is divisible by more than 4908 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4908 are as follows:
