To determine if 4701 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4701.
If the factors of 4701 are only 4701 and 1, then we know that 4701 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4701 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4701 is only divisible by 1 and 4701, then it is a prime number, and if 4701 is divisible by more than 4701 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4701 are as follows:
1, 3, 1567, 4701
Therefore, since 4701 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4701 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4702 prime or composite?
