To determine if 4008 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4008.
If the factors of 4008 are only 4008 and 1, then we know that 4008 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4008 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4008 is only divisible by 1 and 4008, then it is a prime number, and if 4008 is divisible by more than 4008 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4008 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 167, 334, 501, 668, 1002, 1336, 2004, 4008
Therefore, since 4008 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4008 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4009 prime or composite?
