To determine if 4965 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4965.
If the factors of 4965 are only 4965 and 1, then we know that 4965 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4965 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4965 is only divisible by 1 and 4965, then it is a prime number, and if 4965 is divisible by more than 4965 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4965 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 331, 993, 1655, 4965
