To determine if 4060 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4060.
If the factors of 4060 are only 4060 and 1, then we know that 4060 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4060 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4060 is only divisible by 1 and 4060, then it is a prime number, and if 4060 is divisible by more than 4060 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4060 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 29, 35, 58, 70, 116, 140, 145, 203, 290, 406, 580, 812, 1015, 2030, 4060
Therefore, since 4060 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4060 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4061 prime or composite?
