To determine if 4029 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4029.
If the factors of 4029 are only 4029 and 1, then we know that 4029 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4029 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4029 is only divisible by 1 and 4029, then it is a prime number, and if 4029 is divisible by more than 4029 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4029 are as follows:
1, 3, 17, 51, 79, 237, 1343, 4029
