To determine if 8026 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8026.
If the factors of 8026 are only 8026 and 1, then we know that 8026 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8026 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8026 is only divisible by 1 and 8026, then it is a prime number, and if 8026 is divisible by more than 8026 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8026 are as follows:
1, 2, 4013, 8026
Therefore, since 8026 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8026 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8027 prime or composite?
