To determine if 4054 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4054.
If the factors of 4054 are only 4054 and 1, then we know that 4054 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4054 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4054 is only divisible by 1 and 4054, then it is a prime number, and if 4054 is divisible by more than 4054 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4054 are as follows:
1, 2, 2027, 4054
Therefore, since 4054 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4054 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
