To determine if 4705 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4705.
If the factors of 4705 are only 4705 and 1, then we know that 4705 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4705 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4705 is only divisible by 1 and 4705, then it is a prime number, and if 4705 is divisible by more than 4705 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4705 are as follows:
