To determine if 4755 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4755.
If the factors of 4755 are only 4755 and 1, then we know that 4755 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4755 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4755 is only divisible by 1 and 4755, then it is a prime number, and if 4755 is divisible by more than 4755 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4755 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 317, 951, 1585, 4755
Therefore, since 4755 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
