To determine if 4726 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4726.
If the factors of 4726 are only 4726 and 1, then we know that 4726 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4726 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4726 is only divisible by 1 and 4726, then it is a prime number, and if 4726 is divisible by more than 4726 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4726 are as follows:
