To determine if 4807 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4807.
If the factors of 4807 are only 4807 and 1, then we know that 4807 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4807 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4807 is only divisible by 1 and 4807, then it is a prime number, and if 4807 is divisible by more than 4807 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4807 are as follows:
1, 11, 19, 23, 209, 253, 437, 4807
