To determine if 4031 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4031.
If the factors of 4031 are only 4031 and 1, then we know that 4031 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4031 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4031 is only divisible by 1 and 4031, then it is a prime number, and if 4031 is divisible by more than 4031 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4031 are as follows:
1, 29, 139, 4031
Therefore, since 4031 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4031 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4032 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 4031 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
