To determine if 8295 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8295.
If the factors of 8295 are only 8295 and 1, then we know that 8295 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8295 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8295 is only divisible by 1 and 8295, then it is a prime number, and if 8295 is divisible by more than 8295 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8295 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 21, 35, 79, 105, 237, 395, 553, 1185, 1659, 2765, 8295
Therefore, since 8295 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8295 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
