To determine if 4912 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4912.
If the factors of 4912 are only 4912 and 1, then we know that 4912 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4912 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4912 is only divisible by 1 and 4912, then it is a prime number, and if 4912 is divisible by more than 4912 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4912 are as follows:
