To determine if 8526 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8526.
If the factors of 8526 are only 8526 and 1, then we know that 8526 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8526 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8526 is only divisible by 1 and 8526, then it is a prime number, and if 8526 is divisible by more than 8526 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8526 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 29, 42, 49, 58, 87, 98, 147, 174, 203, 294, 406, 609, 1218, 1421, 2842, 4263, 8526
Therefore, since 8526 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8526 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
