To determine if 4055 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4055.
If the factors of 4055 are only 4055 and 1, then we know that 4055 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4055 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4055 is only divisible by 1 and 4055, then it is a prime number, and if 4055 is divisible by more than 4055 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4055 are as follows:
1, 5, 811, 4055
Therefore, since 4055 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4055 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4056 prime or composite?
