To determine if 4634 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4634.
If the factors of 4634 are only 4634 and 1, then we know that 4634 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4634 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4634 is only divisible by 1 and 4634, then it is a prime number, and if 4634 is divisible by more than 4634 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4634 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 331, 662, 2317, 4634
