To determine if 8281 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8281.
If the factors of 8281 are only 8281 and 1, then we know that 8281 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8281 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8281 is only divisible by 1 and 8281, then it is a prime number, and if 8281 is divisible by more than 8281 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8281 are as follows:
1, 7, 13, 49, 91, 169, 637, 1183, 8281
Therefore, since 8281 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8281 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
