To determine if 4724 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4724.
If the factors of 4724 are only 4724 and 1, then we know that 4724 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4724 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4724 is only divisible by 1 and 4724, then it is a prime number, and if 4724 is divisible by more than 4724 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4724 are as follows:
