To determine if 4082 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4082.
If the factors of 4082 are only 4082 and 1, then we know that 4082 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4082 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4082 is only divisible by 1 and 4082, then it is a prime number, and if 4082 is divisible by more than 4082 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4082 are as follows:
1, 2, 13, 26, 157, 314, 2041, 4082
Therefore, since 4082 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
