To determine if 4734 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4734.
If the factors of 4734 are only 4734 and 1, then we know that 4734 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4734 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4734 is only divisible by 1 and 4734, then it is a prime number, and if 4734 is divisible by more than 4734 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4734 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 263, 526, 789, 1578, 2367, 4734
Therefore, since 4734 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
