To determine if 8535 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8535.
If the factors of 8535 are only 8535 and 1, then we know that 8535 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8535 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8535 is only divisible by 1 and 8535, then it is a prime number, and if 8535 is divisible by more than 8535 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8535 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 569, 1707, 2845, 8535
Therefore, since 8535 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8535 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
