To determine if 4715 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4715.
If the factors of 4715 are only 4715 and 1, then we know that 4715 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4715 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4715 is only divisible by 1 and 4715, then it is a prime number, and if 4715 is divisible by more than 4715 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4715 are as follows:
1, 5, 23, 41, 115, 205, 943, 4715
Therefore, since 4715 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4715 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
