To determine if 8225 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8225.
If the factors of 8225 are only 8225 and 1, then we know that 8225 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8225 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8225 is only divisible by 1 and 8225, then it is a prime number, and if 8225 is divisible by more than 8225 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8225 are as follows:
1, 5, 7, 25, 35, 47, 175, 235, 329, 1175, 1645, 8225
Therefore, since 8225 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8225 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
