To determine if 4760 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4760.
If the factors of 4760 are only 4760 and 1, then we know that 4760 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4760 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4760 is only divisible by 1 and 4760, then it is a prime number, and if 4760 is divisible by more than 4760 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4760 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 17, 20, 28, 34, 35, 40, 56, 68, 70, 85, 119, 136, 140, 170, 238, 280, 340, 476, 595, 680, 952, 1190, 2380, 4760
Therefore, since 4760 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4760 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4761 prime or composite?
