To determine if 4036 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4036.
If the factors of 4036 are only 4036 and 1, then we know that 4036 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4036 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4036 is only divisible by 1 and 4036, then it is a prime number, and if 4036 is divisible by more than 4036 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4036 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 1009, 2018, 4036
Therefore, since 4036 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4036 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4037 prime or composite?
