To determine if 8010 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8010.
If the factors of 8010 are only 8010 and 1, then we know that 8010 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8010 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8010 is only divisible by 1 and 8010, then it is a prime number, and if 8010 is divisible by more than 8010 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8010 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30, 45, 89, 90, 178, 267, 445, 534, 801, 890, 1335, 1602, 2670, 4005, 8010
Therefore, since 8010 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8010 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8011 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 8010 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.
