To determine if 4096 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4096.
If the factors of 4096 are only 4096 and 1, then we know that 4096 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4096 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4096 is only divisible by 1 and 4096, then it is a prime number, and if 4096 is divisible by more than 4096 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4096 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096
Therefore, since 4096 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4096 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4097 prime or composite?
