To determine if 8223 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8223.
If the factors of 8223 are only 8223 and 1, then we know that 8223 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8223 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8223 is only divisible by 1 and 8223, then it is a prime number, and if 8223 is divisible by more than 8223 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8223 are as follows:
1, 3, 2741, 8223
Therefore, since 8223 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8223 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
