To determine if 8250 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8250.
If the factors of 8250 are only 8250 and 1, then we know that 8250 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8250 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8250 is only divisible by 1 and 8250, then it is a prime number, and if 8250 is divisible by more than 8250 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8250 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, 15, 22, 25, 30, 33, 50, 55, 66, 75, 110, 125, 150, 165, 250, 275, 330, 375, 550, 750, 825, 1375, 1650, 2750, 4125, 8250
Therefore, since 8250 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8250 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8251 prime or composite?
