To determine if 4136 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4136.
If the factors of 4136 are only 4136 and 1, then we know that 4136 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4136 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4136 is only divisible by 1 and 4136, then it is a prime number, and if 4136 is divisible by more than 4136 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4136 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 47, 88, 94, 188, 376, 517, 1034, 2068, 4136
Therefore, since 4136 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4136 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4137 prime or composite?
