To determine if 4010 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4010.
If the factors of 4010 are only 4010 and 1, then we know that 4010 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4010 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4010 is only divisible by 1 and 4010, then it is a prime number, and if 4010 is divisible by more than 4010 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4010 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 401, 802, 2005, 4010
Therefore, since 4010 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4010 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4011 prime or composite?
