To determine if 4077 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4077.
If the factors of 4077 are only 4077 and 1, then we know that 4077 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4077 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4077 is only divisible by 1 and 4077, then it is a prime number, and if 4077 is divisible by more than 4077 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4077 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 27, 151, 453, 1359, 4077
Therefore, since 4077 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4077 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
