To determine if 4043 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4043.
If the factors of 4043 are only 4043 and 1, then we know that 4043 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4043 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4043 is only divisible by 1 and 4043, then it is a prime number, and if 4043 is divisible by more than 4043 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4043 are as follows:
