To determine if 8031 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8031.
If the factors of 8031 are only 8031 and 1, then we know that 8031 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8031 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8031 is only divisible by 1 and 8031, then it is a prime number, and if 8031 is divisible by more than 8031 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8031 are as follows:
1, 3, 2677, 8031
Therefore, since 8031 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8031 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8032 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 8031 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.
