Is 4061 a prime number?

The number 4061 has multiple factors that can divide it completely without leaving any remainder. Thus, 4061 is a non-prime number. The factors of 4061 include 1, 11, 369, and 4061.

For a number to be prime, it must have exactly 2 factors: 1 and itself. Since 4061 has more than 2 factors, it is classified as a composite number.

Below are a few methods that can be used to determine whether a number is prime or composite.

1. Counting Divisors Method
2. Divisibility Test
3. Prime Number Chart
4. Prime Factorization
    

In this method, we check if the number is divisible by any numbers other than 1 and itself.

For 4061, the divisors are:

Divisors of 4061 = 1, 11, 369, 4061
Number of divisors = 4

Since 4061 has more than 2 divisors, it is considered composite.
 

In the divisibility test, we try dividing the number by smaller prime numbers. If it is divisible by any of them, it is not a prime number.

The divisors of 4061 are: 1, 11, 369, and 4061.

Thus, 4061 has 4 factors and is not a prime number.
 

The prime number chart lists prime numbers starting from 2 to infinity.

Prime numbers under 100 are:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97.

Since 4061 is not in the list of prime numbers and has more than 2 factors, it is not a prime number.
 

Prime factorization is used to break down composite numbers into their prime factors.
For 4061:

Factors of 4061 = 11 × 369

This confirms that 4061 is a composite number.
 

• Prime Number: A natural number greater than 1 that has exactly two distinct positive divisors: 1 and itself. For example, 2, 3, and 5 are prime numbers.

• Composite Number: A natural number greater than 1 that has more than two positive divisors. For example, 4, 6, and 9 are composite numbers.

• Divisibility Test: A mathematical method to determine whether one number is divisible by another without leaving a remainder. This is often used to check if a number is prime.

• Prime Factorization: The process of breaking down a composite number into its prime factors, such as expressing 12 as 2×2×3
