To determine if 8200 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8200.
If the factors of 8200 are only 8200 and 1, then we know that 8200 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8200 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8200 is only divisible by 1 and 8200, then it is a prime number, and if 8200 is divisible by more than 8200 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8200 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 25, 40, 41, 50, 82, 100, 164, 200, 205, 328, 410, 820, 1025, 1640, 2050, 4100, 8200
Therefore, since 8200 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8200 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8201 prime or composite?
