It goes like this:
en kam är gul - en gul kam
kammen är gul - den gula kammen

If you wanted to write The yellow combs are hers, it would be: Den gula kammarna är hennes?

The "a" in "kam" is short, so the strange thing is that there is only one "m" in "kam". (Compare to "duk" where the "u" is long.)
A noun can end with double "m", for example "damm" (dust) and "lamm" (lamb), but then there are corresponding versions with long "a", "dam" (lady) and "lam" (lame).

If you mean whether it is en or ett, you can't, you just have to memorize each one. There is no set pattern unfortunately.
