To determine if 4006 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4006.
If the factors of 4006 are only 4006 and 1, then we know that 4006 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4006 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4006 is only divisible by 1 and 4006, then it is a prime number, and if 4006 is divisible by more than 4006 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4006 are as follows:
1, 2, 2003, 4006
Therefore, since 4006 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4006 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4007 prime or composite?
