To determine if 8012 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8012.
If the factors of 8012 are only 8012 and 1, then we know that 8012 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8012 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8012 is only divisible by 1 and 8012, then it is a prime number, and if 8012 is divisible by more than 8012 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8012 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 2003, 4006, 8012
Therefore, since 8012 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8012 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8013 prime or composite?
