To determine if 8024 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8024.
If the factors of 8024 are only 8024 and 1, then we know that 8024 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8024 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8024 is only divisible by 1 and 8024, then it is a prime number, and if 8024 is divisible by more than 8024 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8024 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 17, 34, 59, 68, 118, 136, 236, 472, 1003, 2006, 4012, 8024
Therefore, since 8024 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8024 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8025 prime or composite?
