To determine if 8507 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8507.
If the factors of 8507 are only 8507 and 1, then we know that 8507 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8507 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8507 is only divisible by 1 and 8507, then it is a prime number, and if 8507 is divisible by more than 8507 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8507 are as follows:
