To determine if 8235 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8235.
If the factors of 8235 are only 8235 and 1, then we know that 8235 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8235 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8235 is only divisible by 1 and 8235, then it is a prime number, and if 8235 is divisible by more than 8235 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8235 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 27, 45, 61, 135, 183, 305, 549, 915, 1647, 2745, 8235
Therefore, since 8235 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8235 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8236 prime or composite?
