To determine if 8030 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8030.
If the factors of 8030 are only 8030 and 1, then we know that 8030 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8030 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8030 is only divisible by 1 and 8030, then it is a prime number, and if 8030 is divisible by more than 8030 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8030 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 11, 22, 55, 73, 110, 146, 365, 730, 803, 1606, 4015, 8030
Therefore, since 8030 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8030 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8031 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 8030 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.
