To determine if 8007 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8007.
If the factors of 8007 are only 8007 and 1, then we know that 8007 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8007 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8007 is only divisible by 1 and 8007, then it is a prime number, and if 8007 is divisible by more than 8007 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8007 are as follows:
1, 3, 17, 51, 157, 471, 2669, 8007
Therefore, since 8007 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8007 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
