To determine if 4781 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4781.
If the factors of 4781 are only 4781 and 1, then we know that 4781 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4781 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4781 is only divisible by 1 and 4781, then it is a prime number, and if 4781 is divisible by more than 4781 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4781 are as follows:
1, 7, 683, 4781
Therefore, since 4781 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4781 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
