To determine if 4764 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4764.
If the factors of 4764 are only 4764 and 1, then we know that 4764 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4764 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4764 is only divisible by 1 and 4764, then it is a prime number, and if 4764 is divisible by more than 4764 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4764 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 397, 794, 1191, 1588, 2382, 4764
Therefore, since 4764 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4764 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
