To determine if 4635 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4635.
If the factors of 4635 are only 4635 and 1, then we know that 4635 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4635 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4635 is only divisible by 1 and 4635, then it is a prime number, and if 4635 is divisible by more than 4635 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4635 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45, 103, 309, 515, 927, 1545, 4635
Therefore, since 4635 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4635 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
