To determine if 8004 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8004.
If the factors of 8004 are only 8004 and 1, then we know that 8004 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8004 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8004 is only divisible by 1 and 8004, then it is a prime number, and if 8004 is divisible by more than 8004 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8004 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 23, 29, 46, 58, 69, 87, 92, 116, 138, 174, 276, 348, 667, 1334, 2001, 2668, 4002, 8004
Therefore, since 8004 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8004 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8005 prime or composite?
