To determine if 4051 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4051.
If the factors of 4051 are only 4051 and 1, then we know that 4051 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4051 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4051 is only divisible by 1 and 4051, then it is a prime number, and if 4051 is divisible by more than 4051 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4051 are as follows:
