To determine if 8043 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8043.
If the factors of 8043 are only 8043 and 1, then we know that 8043 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8043 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8043 is only divisible by 1 and 8043, then it is a prime number, and if 8043 is divisible by more than 8043 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8043 are as follows:
