To determine if 4476 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4476.
If the factors of 4476 are only 4476 and 1, then we know that 4476 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4476 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4476 is only divisible by 1 and 4476, then it is a prime number, and if 4476 is divisible by more than 4476 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4476 are as follows:
