To determine if 8533 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8533.
If the factors of 8533 are only 8533 and 1, then we know that 8533 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8533 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8533 is only divisible by 1 and 8533, then it is a prime number, and if 8533 is divisible by more than 8533 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8533 are as follows:
1, 7, 23, 53, 161, 371, 1219, 8533
Therefore, since 8533 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
