To determine if 4631 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4631.
If the factors of 4631 are only 4631 and 1, then we know that 4631 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4631 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4631 is only divisible by 1 and 4631, then it is a prime number, and if 4631 is divisible by more than 4631 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4631 are as follows:
1, 11, 421, 4631
Therefore, since 4631 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4631 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4632 prime or composite?
