To determine if 4053 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4053.
If the factors of 4053 are only 4053 and 1, then we know that 4053 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4053 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4053 is only divisible by 1 and 4053, then it is a prime number, and if 4053 is divisible by more than 4053 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4053 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 21, 193, 579, 1351, 4053
Therefore, since 4053 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4053 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
