To determine if 8057 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8057.
If the factors of 8057 are only 8057 and 1, then we know that 8057 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8057 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8057 is only divisible by 1 and 8057, then it is a prime number, and if 8057 is divisible by more than 8057 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8057 are as follows:
