Is 4680 is a composite number or not ?
- As we already know that, the number having factors 1 and the number itself is the prime number.
- And numbers having more than these two factors are the composite numbers.
- To check whether the number 4680 is composite or not first we have to find its factors.
Factors of 4680:
- If we have taken numbers from 1, 2, 3…for checking factors of 4680 we found that 4680 has factors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 18, 20, 24, 26, 30, 36, 39, 40, 45, 52, 60, 65, 72, 78, 90, 104, 117, 120, 130, 156, 180, 195, 234, 260, 312, 360, 390, 468, 520, 585, 780, 936, 1170, 1560, 2340 and 4680. Hence, we must say that 4680 is a composite number.
- Thus, 4680 is the composite number.
- If we multiply 4680 by 1, 2, 3 then we get the multiples of 4680 which are 4680, 9360 and so on.
About the number 4680:
- 4680 has more than two factors which are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 18, 20, 24, 26, 30, 36, 39, 40, 45, 52, 60, 65, 72, 78, 90, 104, 117, 120, 130, 156, 180, 195, 234, 260, 312, 360, 390, 468, 520, 585, 780, 936, 1170, 1560, 2340 and 4680 and hence it is the composite number.
- 4680 is the even composite number and it is not the perfect square also.
- If we divide 4680 by, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 18, 20, 24, 26, 30, 36, 39, 40, 45, 52, 60, 65, 72, 78, 90, 104, 117, 120, 130, 156, 180, 195, 234, 260, 312, 360, 390, 468, 520, 585, 780, 936, 1170, 1560, 2340 and 4680 then we get remainder as zero. Hence, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 18, 20, 24, 26, 30, 36, 39, 40, 45, 52, 60, 65, 72, 78, 90, 104, 117, 120, 130, 156, 180, 195, 234, 260, 312, 360, 390, 468, 520, 585, 780, 936, 1170, 1560, 2340 and 4680 are the factors of 4680.
