To determine if 4731 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4731.
If the factors of 4731 are only 4731 and 1, then we know that 4731 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4731 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4731 is only divisible by 1 and 4731, then it is a prime number, and if 4731 is divisible by more than 4731 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4731 are as follows:
1, 3, 19, 57, 83, 249, 1577, 4731
Therefore, since 4731 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4731 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
