To determine if 4665 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4665.
If the factors of 4665 are only 4665 and 1, then we know that 4665 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4665 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4665 is only divisible by 1 and 4665, then it is a prime number, and if 4665 is divisible by more than 4665 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4665 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 311, 933, 1555, 4665
