To determine if 4568 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4568.
If the factors of 4568 are only 4568 and 1, then we know that 4568 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4568 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4568 is only divisible by 1 and 4568, then it is a prime number, and if 4568 is divisible by more than 4568 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4568 are as follows:
