To determine if 4704 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4704.
If the factors of 4704 are only 4704 and 1, then we know that 4704 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4704 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4704 is only divisible by 1 and 4704, then it is a prime number, and if 4704 is divisible by more than 4704 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4704 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 21, 24, 28, 32, 42, 48, 49, 56, 84, 96, 98, 112, 147, 168, 196, 224, 294, 336, 392, 588, 672, 784, 1176, 1568, 2352, 4704
Therefore, since 4704 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4704 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
