To determine if 4087 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4087.
If the factors of 4087 are only 4087 and 1, then we know that 4087 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4087 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4087 is only divisible by 1 and 4087, then it is a prime number, and if 4087 is divisible by more than 4087 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4087 are as follows:
