To determine if 4676 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4676.
If the factors of 4676 are only 4676 and 1, then we know that 4676 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4676 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4676 is only divisible by 1 and 4676, then it is a prime number, and if 4676 is divisible by more than 4676 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4676 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 167, 334, 668, 1169, 2338, 4676
Therefore, since 4676 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4676 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
