To determine if 8072 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8072.
If the factors of 8072 are only 8072 and 1, then we know that 8072 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8072 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8072 is only divisible by 1 and 8072, then it is a prime number, and if 8072 is divisible by more than 8072 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8072 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 1009, 2018, 4036, 8072
Therefore, since 8072 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8072 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
