To determine if 4630 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4630.
If the factors of 4630 are only 4630 and 1, then we know that 4630 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4630 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4630 is only divisible by 1 and 4630, then it is a prime number, and if 4630 is divisible by more than 4630 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4630 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 463, 926, 2315, 4630
Therefore, since 4630 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4630 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
