To determine if 8375 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8375.
If the factors of 8375 are only 8375 and 1, then we know that 8375 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8375 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8375 is only divisible by 1 and 8375, then it is a prime number, and if 8375 is divisible by more than 8375 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8375 are as follows:
1, 5, 25, 67, 125, 335, 1675, 8375
