To determine if 8211 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8211.
If the factors of 8211 are only 8211 and 1, then we know that 8211 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8211 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8211 is only divisible by 1 and 8211, then it is a prime number, and if 8211 is divisible by more than 8211 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8211 are as follows:
1, 3, 7, 17, 21, 23, 51, 69, 119, 161, 357, 391, 483, 1173, 2737, 8211
Therefore, since 8211 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8211 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8212 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 8211 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
