To determine if 4702 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4702.
If the factors of 4702 are only 4702 and 1, then we know that 4702 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4702 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4702 is only divisible by 1 and 4702, then it is a prime number, and if 4702 is divisible by more than 4702 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4702 are as follows:
1, 2, 2351, 4702
Therefore, since 4702 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4702 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
