To determine if 8333 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8333.
If the factors of 8333 are only 8333 and 1, then we know that 8333 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8333 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8333 is only divisible by 1 and 8333, then it is a prime number, and if 8333 is divisible by more than 8333 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8333 are as follows:
1, 13, 641, 8333
Therefore, since 8333 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8333 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
