To determine if 8310 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8310.
If the factors of 8310 are only 8310 and 1, then we know that 8310 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8310 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8310 is only divisible by 1 and 8310, then it is a prime number, and if 8310 is divisible by more than 8310 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8310 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30, 277, 554, 831, 1385, 1662, 2770, 4155, 8310
Therefore, since 8310 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8310 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8311 prime or composite?
