To determine if 4617 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4617.
If the factors of 4617 are only 4617 and 1, then we know that 4617 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4617 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4617 is only divisible by 1 and 4617, then it is a prime number, and if 4617 is divisible by more than 4617 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4617 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 19, 27, 57, 81, 171, 243, 513, 1539, 4617
Therefore, since 4617 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
