To determine if 8330 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8330.
If the factors of 8330 are only 8330 and 1, then we know that 8330 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8330 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8330 is only divisible by 1 and 8330, then it is a prime number, and if 8330 is divisible by more than 8330 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8330 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 17, 34, 35, 49, 70, 85, 98, 119, 170, 238, 245, 490, 595, 833, 1190, 1666, 4165, 8330
Therefore, since 8330 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8330 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8331 prime or composite?
