To determine if 4944 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4944.
If the factors of 4944 are only 4944 and 1, then we know that 4944 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4944 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4944 is only divisible by 1 and 4944, then it is a prime number, and if 4944 is divisible by more than 4944 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4944 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, 103, 206, 309, 412, 618, 824, 1236, 1648, 2472, 4944
Therefore, since 4944 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4944 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
