To determine if 4614 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4614.
If the factors of 4614 are only 4614 and 1, then we know that 4614 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4614 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4614 is only divisible by 1 and 4614, then it is a prime number, and if 4614 is divisible by more than 4614 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4614 are as follows:
