To determine if 8003 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8003.
If the factors of 8003 are only 8003 and 1, then we know that 8003 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8003 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8003 is only divisible by 1 and 8003, then it is a prime number, and if 8003 is divisible by more than 8003 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8003 are as follows:
1, 53, 151, 8003
Therefore, since 8003 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8003 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8004 prime or composite?
