To determine if 4652 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4652.
If the factors of 4652 are only 4652 and 1, then we know that 4652 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4652 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4652 is only divisible by 1 and 4652, then it is a prime number, and if 4652 is divisible by more than 4652 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4652 are as follows:
