To determine if 8036 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8036.
If the factors of 8036 are only 8036 and 1, then we know that 8036 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8036 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8036 is only divisible by 1 and 8036, then it is a prime number, and if 8036 is divisible by more than 8036 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8036 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 41, 49, 82, 98, 164, 196, 287, 574, 1148, 2009, 4018, 8036
Therefore, since 8036 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8036 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8037 prime or composite?
