To determine if 4088 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4088.
If the factors of 4088 are only 4088 and 1, then we know that 4088 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4088 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4088 is only divisible by 1 and 4088, then it is a prime number, and if 4088 is divisible by more than 4088 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4088 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56, 73, 146, 292, 511, 584, 1022, 2044, 4088
Therefore, since 4088 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4088 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
