To determine if 8512 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8512.
If the factors of 8512 are only 8512 and 1, then we know that 8512 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8512 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8512 is only divisible by 1 and 8512, then it is a prime number, and if 8512 is divisible by more than 8512 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8512 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 19, 28, 32, 38, 56, 64, 76, 112, 133, 152, 224, 266, 304, 448, 532, 608, 1064, 1216, 2128, 4256, 8512
Therefore, since 8512 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8512 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
