To determine if 4758 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4758.
If the factors of 4758 are only 4758 and 1, then we know that 4758 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4758 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4758 is only divisible by 1 and 4758, then it is a prime number, and if 4758 is divisible by more than 4758 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4758 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 39, 61, 78, 122, 183, 366, 793, 1586, 2379, 4758
Therefore, since 4758 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4758 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
