To determine if 4741 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4741.
If the factors of 4741 are only 4741 and 1, then we know that 4741 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4741 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4741 is only divisible by 1 and 4741, then it is a prime number, and if 4741 is divisible by more than 4741 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4741 are as follows:
1, 11, 431, 4741
Therefore, since 4741 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4741 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
