To determine if 4766 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4766.
If the factors of 4766 are only 4766 and 1, then we know that 4766 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4766 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4766 is only divisible by 1 and 4766, then it is a prime number, and if 4766 is divisible by more than 4766 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4766 are as follows:
