To determine if 4975 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4975.
If the factors of 4975 are only 4975 and 1, then we know that 4975 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4975 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4975 is only divisible by 1 and 4975, then it is a prime number, and if 4975 is divisible by more than 4975 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4975 are as follows:
