To determine if 4768 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4768.
If the factors of 4768 are only 4768 and 1, then we know that 4768 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4768 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4768 is only divisible by 1 and 4768, then it is a prime number, and if 4768 is divisible by more than 4768 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4768 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 149, 298, 596, 1192, 2384, 4768
Therefore, since 4768 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
