To determine if 8027 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8027.
If the factors of 8027 are only 8027 and 1, then we know that 8027 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8027 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8027 is only divisible by 1 and 8027, then it is a prime number, and if 8027 is divisible by more than 8027 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8027 are as follows:
