To determine if 4017 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4017.
If the factors of 4017 are only 4017 and 1, then we know that 4017 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4017 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4017 is only divisible by 1 and 4017, then it is a prime number, and if 4017 is divisible by more than 4017 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4017 are as follows:
1, 3, 13, 39, 103, 309, 1339, 4017
Therefore, since 4017 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4017 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
