To determine if 4722 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4722.
If the factors of 4722 are only 4722 and 1, then we know that 4722 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4722 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4722 is only divisible by 1 and 4722, then it is a prime number, and if 4722 is divisible by more than 4722 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4722 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 787, 1574, 2361, 4722
