To determine if 4772 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4772.
If the factors of 4772 are only 4772 and 1, then we know that 4772 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4772 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4772 is only divisible by 1 and 4772, then it is a prime number, and if 4772 is divisible by more than 4772 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4772 are as follows:
