To determine if 4865 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4865.
If the factors of 4865 are only 4865 and 1, then we know that 4865 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4865 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4865 is only divisible by 1 and 4865, then it is a prime number, and if 4865 is divisible by more than 4865 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4865 are as follows:
1, 5, 7, 35, 139, 695, 973, 4865
Therefore, since 4865 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
