To determine if 4756 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4756.
If the factors of 4756 are only 4756 and 1, then we know that 4756 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4756 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4756 is only divisible by 1 and 4756, then it is a prime number, and if 4756 is divisible by more than 4756 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4756 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 29, 41, 58, 82, 116, 164, 1189, 2378, 4756
Therefore, since 4756 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4756 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
