To determine if 8300 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8300.
If the factors of 8300 are only 8300 and 1, then we know that 8300 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8300 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8300 is only divisible by 1 and 8300, then it is a prime number, and if 8300 is divisible by more than 8300 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8300 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 83, 100, 166, 332, 415, 830, 1660, 2075, 4150, 8300
Therefore, since 8300 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8300 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8301 prime or composite?
