To determine if 8046 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8046.
If the factors of 8046 are only 8046 and 1, then we know that 8046 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8046 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8046 is only divisible by 1 and 8046, then it is a prime number, and if 8046 is divisible by more than 8046 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8046 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 149, 298, 447, 894, 1341, 2682, 4023, 8046
Therefore, since 8046 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8046 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
