To determine if 4805 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4805.
If the factors of 4805 are only 4805 and 1, then we know that 4805 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4805 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4805 is only divisible by 1 and 4805, then it is a prime number, and if 4805 is divisible by more than 4805 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4805 are as follows:
1, 5, 31, 155, 961, 4805
Therefore, since 4805 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
