To determine if 4026 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4026.
If the factors of 4026 are only 4026 and 1, then we know that 4026 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4026 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4026 is only divisible by 1 and 4026, then it is a prime number, and if 4026 is divisible by more than 4026 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4026 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 61, 66, 122, 183, 366, 671, 1342, 2013, 4026
Therefore, since 4026 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4026 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4027 prime or composite?
