To determine if 4732 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4732.
If the factors of 4732 are only 4732 and 1, then we know that 4732 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4732 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4732 is only divisible by 1 and 4732, then it is a prime number, and if 4732 is divisible by more than 4732 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4732 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 13, 14, 26, 28, 52, 91, 169, 182, 338, 364, 676, 1183, 2366, 4732
Therefore, since 4732 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4732 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4733 prime or composite?
