To determine if 8016 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8016.
If the factors of 8016 are only 8016 and 1, then we know that 8016 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8016 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8016 is only divisible by 1 and 8016, then it is a prime number, and if 8016 is divisible by more than 8016 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8016 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, 167, 334, 501, 668, 1002, 1336, 2004, 2672, 4008, 8016
Therefore, since 8016 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8016 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8017 prime or composite?
