To determine if 4746 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4746.
If the factors of 4746 are only 4746 and 1, then we know that 4746 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4746 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4746 is only divisible by 1 and 4746, then it is a prime number, and if 4746 is divisible by more than 4746 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4746 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 113, 226, 339, 678, 791, 1582, 2373, 4746
Therefore, since 4746 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4746 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
