To determine if 4014 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4014.
If the factors of 4014 are only 4014 and 1, then we know that 4014 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4014 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4014 is only divisible by 1 and 4014, then it is a prime number, and if 4014 is divisible by more than 4014 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4014 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 223, 446, 669, 1338, 2007, 4014
Therefore, since 4014 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4014 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4015 prime or composite?
