To determine if 8070 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8070.
If the factors of 8070 are only 8070 and 1, then we know that 8070 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8070 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8070 is only divisible by 1 and 8070, then it is a prime number, and if 8070 is divisible by more than 8070 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8070 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30, 269, 538, 807, 1345, 1614, 2690, 4035, 8070
Therefore, since 8070 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8070 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8071 prime or composite?
