To determine if 8002 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8002.
If the factors of 8002 are only 8002 and 1, then we know that 8002 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8002 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8002 is only divisible by 1 and 8002, then it is a prime number, and if 8002 is divisible by more than 8002 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8002 are as follows:
1, 2, 4001, 8002
Therefore, since 8002 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8002 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8003 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 8002 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
