To determine if 8303 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8303.
If the factors of 8303 are only 8303 and 1, then we know that 8303 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8303 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8303 is only divisible by 1 and 8303, then it is a prime number, and if 8303 is divisible by more than 8303 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8303 are as follows:
1, 19, 23, 361, 437, 8303
Therefore, since 8303 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8303 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
