To determine if 4730 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4730.
If the factors of 4730 are only 4730 and 1, then we know that 4730 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4730 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4730 is only divisible by 1 and 4730, then it is a prime number, and if 4730 is divisible by more than 4730 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4730 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 11, 22, 43, 55, 86, 110, 215, 430, 473, 946, 2365, 4730
Therefore, since 4730 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4730 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4731 prime or composite?
