To determine if 4791 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4791.
If the factors of 4791 are only 4791 and 1, then we know that 4791 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4791 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4791 is only divisible by 1 and 4791, then it is a prime number, and if 4791 is divisible by more than 4791 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4791 are as follows:
