To determine if 8044 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8044.
If the factors of 8044 are only 8044 and 1, then we know that 8044 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8044 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8044 is only divisible by 1 and 8044, then it is a prime number, and if 8044 is divisible by more than 8044 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8044 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 2011, 4022, 8044
Therefore, since 8044 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
