To determine if 4706 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4706.
If the factors of 4706 are only 4706 and 1, then we know that 4706 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4706 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4706 is only divisible by 1 and 4706, then it is a prime number, and if 4706 is divisible by more than 4706 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4706 are as follows:
1, 2, 13, 26, 181, 362, 2353, 4706
