To determine if 4763 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4763.
If the factors of 4763 are only 4763 and 1, then we know that 4763 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4763 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4763 is only divisible by 1 and 4763, then it is a prime number, and if 4763 is divisible by more than 4763 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4763 are as follows:
