To determine if 8055 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8055.
If the factors of 8055 are only 8055 and 1, then we know that 8055 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8055 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8055 is only divisible by 1 and 8055, then it is a prime number, and if 8055 is divisible by more than 8055 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8055 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45, 179, 537, 895, 1611, 2685, 8055
Therefore, since 8055 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8055 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8056 prime or composite?
