To determine if 4078 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4078.
If the factors of 4078 are only 4078 and 1, then we know that 4078 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4078 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4078 is only divisible by 1 and 4078, then it is a prime number, and if 4078 is divisible by more than 4078 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4078 are as follows:
1, 2, 2039, 4078
Therefore, since 4078 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4078 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
