To determine if 4735 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4735.
If the factors of 4735 are only 4735 and 1, then we know that 4735 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4735 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4735 is only divisible by 1 and 4735, then it is a prime number, and if 4735 is divisible by more than 4735 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4735 are as follows:
