To determine if 4765 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4765.
If the factors of 4765 are only 4765 and 1, then we know that 4765 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4765 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4765 is only divisible by 1 and 4765, then it is a prime number, and if 4765 is divisible by more than 4765 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4765 are as follows:
