To determine if 8050 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8050.
If the factors of 8050 are only 8050 and 1, then we know that 8050 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8050 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8050 is only divisible by 1 and 8050, then it is a prime number, and if 8050 is divisible by more than 8050 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8050 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 23, 25, 35, 46, 50, 70, 115, 161, 175, 230, 322, 350, 575, 805, 1150, 1610, 4025, 8050
Therefore, since 8050 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8050 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8051 prime or composite?
