To determine if 4710 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4710.
If the factors of 4710 are only 4710 and 1, then we know that 4710 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4710 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4710 is only divisible by 1 and 4710, then it is a prime number, and if 4710 is divisible by more than 4710 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4710 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30, 157, 314, 471, 785, 942, 1570, 2355, 4710
Therefore, since 4710 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4710 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4711 prime or composite?
