To determine if 8435 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8435.
If the factors of 8435 are only 8435 and 1, then we know that 8435 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8435 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8435 is only divisible by 1 and 8435, then it is a prime number, and if 8435 is divisible by more than 8435 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8435 are as follows:
1, 5, 7, 35, 241, 1205, 1687, 8435
