To determine if 4032 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4032.
If the factors of 4032 are only 4032 and 1, then we know that 4032 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4032 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4032 is only divisible by 1 and 4032, then it is a prime number, and if 4032 is divisible by more than 4032 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4032 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, 24, 28, 32, 36, 42, 48, 56, 63, 64, 72, 84, 96, 112, 126, 144, 168, 192, 224, 252, 288, 336, 448, 504, 576, 672, 1008, 1344, 2016, 4032
Therefore, since 4032 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4032 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4033 prime or composite?
