To determine if 4625 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4625.
If the factors of 4625 are only 4625 and 1, then we know that 4625 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4625 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4625 is only divisible by 1 and 4625, then it is a prime number, and if 4625 is divisible by more than 4625 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4625 are as follows:
