To determine if 4750 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4750.
If the factors of 4750 are only 4750 and 1, then we know that 4750 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4750 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4750 is only divisible by 1 and 4750, then it is a prime number, and if 4750 is divisible by more than 4750 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4750 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 19, 25, 38, 50, 95, 125, 190, 250, 475, 950, 2375, 4750
Therefore, since 4750 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4750 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4751 prime or composite?
