To determine if 4790 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4790.
If the factors of 4790 are only 4790 and 1, then we know that 4790 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4790 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4790 is only divisible by 1 and 4790, then it is a prime number, and if 4790 is divisible by more than 4790 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4790 are as follows:
