To determine if 4961 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4961.
If the factors of 4961 are only 4961 and 1, then we know that 4961 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4961 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4961 is only divisible by 1 and 4961, then it is a prime number, and if 4961 is divisible by more than 4961 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4961 are as follows:
1, 11, 41, 121, 451, 4961
Therefore, since 4961 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4961 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4962 prime or composite?
