To determine if 8048 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8048.
If the factors of 8048 are only 8048 and 1, then we know that 8048 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8048 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8048 is only divisible by 1 and 8048, then it is a prime number, and if 8048 is divisible by more than 8048 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8048 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 503, 1006, 2012, 4024, 8048
