To determine if 8265 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8265.
If the factors of 8265 are only 8265 and 1, then we know that 8265 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8265 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8265 is only divisible by 1 and 8265, then it is a prime number, and if 8265 is divisible by more than 8265 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8265 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 19, 29, 57, 87, 95, 145, 285, 435, 551, 1653, 2755, 8265
Therefore, since 8265 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8265 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8266 prime or composite?
