To determine if 4024 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4024.
If the factors of 4024 are only 4024 and 1, then we know that 4024 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4024 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4024 is only divisible by 1 and 4024, then it is a prime number, and if 4024 is divisible by more than 4024 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4024 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 503, 1006, 2012, 4024
Therefore, since 4024 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4024 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
