To determine if 8351 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8351.
If the factors of 8351 are only 8351 and 1, then we know that 8351 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8351 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8351 is only divisible by 1 and 8351, then it is a prime number, and if 8351 is divisible by more than 8351 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8351 are as follows:
1, 7, 1193, 8351
Therefore, since 8351 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8351 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 8352 prime or composite?
