To determine if 8350 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8350.
If the factors of 8350 are only 8350 and 1, then we know that 8350 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8350 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8350 is only divisible by 1 and 8350, then it is a prime number, and if 8350 is divisible by more than 8350 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8350 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 167, 334, 835, 1670, 4175, 8350
Therefore, since 8350 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8350 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8351 prime or composite?
