To determine if 4653 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4653.
If the factors of 4653 are only 4653 and 1, then we know that 4653 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4653 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4653 is only divisible by 1 and 4653, then it is a prime number, and if 4653 is divisible by more than 4653 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4653 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 11, 33, 47, 99, 141, 423, 517, 1551, 4653
Therefore, since 4653 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4653 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
