To determine if 4655 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4655.
If the factors of 4655 are only 4655 and 1, then we know that 4655 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4655 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4655 is only divisible by 1 and 4655, then it is a prime number, and if 4655 is divisible by more than 4655 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4655 are as follows:
1, 5, 7, 19, 35, 49, 95, 133, 245, 665, 931, 4655
Therefore, since 4655 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4655 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
